For centuries, ama – Japanese fisherwomen and divers – have fueled Japanese imagination. These freediving fisherwomen collect abalones, crustaceans and seaweed, the sale of which guarantees them economic independence at home. Kusukazu Uraguchi (1922-1988) has photographed them in the Shima region along Japan’s Pacific coast since the mid-1950s and for more than three decades.
