Synopsis
Excerpt from Pictorial Chosen and Manchuria
The Peninsula is known to the West by the name of Korea, derived from Koryu (fig), by which name the country was officially called from 918 to 1392. Chosen, as the country is now called by Japanese, is at once the oldest and latest name, having been in use as early as 1200 B. C. And again revived on the annexation of the country by Japan.
