	Not at all. In Japanese rules, territory is defined by eyes.

	Quoting from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wjh/go/rules/Japanese.html :
Empty points surrounded by the live stones of just one player are called
"eye points." Other empty points are called "dame." Stones which are alive
but possess dame are said to be in "seki." Eye points surrounded by stones
that are alive but not in seki are called "territory," each eye point
counting as one point of territory.
