Amas
On the shores of Shima 志摩市 and Toba 鳥羽市
For millennia
Women divers, ama 海女,
Freediving champions
Go fishing for shellfish and crustaceans
Collecting pearls
Today grandmothers, ama are fewer and fewer
Swept away by modern life
However they may recover their youth
When they fish
In the depth of the big ocean
grand-mère
Mère du père ou de la mère, ayant à ce titre une position appelant une forme d’affection, de responsabilité, de transmission…
