Ama by Yoshinobu Nakamura is a captivating photobook documenting the resilient world of Japan's traditional ama—female free divers who harvest pearls and seafood. Featuring vibrant color and black-and-white images alongside a map and text by Tsuneichi Miyamoto, it explores their rituals, coastal lives, and enduring heritage. Housed in a pictorial jacket and slipcase, this limited edition (one of 2,500) stands as a poignant tribute to these "women of the sea," blending documentary depth with cultural reverence.
