An article on sea lion capture in Takeshima was confirmed in Meiji 35, is it the oldest record or the Economic Activity Cabinet Secretariat even before territorial incorporation

The Cabinet Office confirmed a newspaper article reporting the capture of a Japanese serow (Nihon Axis deer) on Takeshima (Takeshima Island, Oki Town, Shimane Prefecture) in 1875. This becomes the oldest official record of Takeshima's serow hunting. The Meiji government incorporated Takeshima into its territory in January 1878, and provided the basis for this with evidence from the same island.
