Thank you for sharing I'm visiting the ama divers in Toba in a couple weeks, but will try ti find my way to Iijika soon too.

Love this vid so much. Yup, really appreciate you making the effort to speak in English. Ama has so much to teach us, not just in terms of sustainability, but also attitude. Love that an 84 year old woman can still be actively working and an integral part of society.

Thank you for the well documented video👏. Speaking in English is truly appreciative. Take care and stay safe.

Thank you Rikako. This is fascinating.

I will be watching this a few times. I wound up here because I am researching for an epic saga I am writing. A new Fictional look at world history beginning around 1500. But the story finances begin around 700 in a small village of Ama. Thank you again for such a wonderful telling of an art most know nothing of...perhaps my novel will help ?!

Very good…thank you.

aahhhhh that seems like a hard but rewarding job!! thank you so much for uploading this, i've been curious about ama for a while now🥺✨ also 6:20 makes me want to visit Ijika so badly.. what a pretty beach!

Thank you for watching my video and liked Ijika! Yes, we have a lovely beach here :) Hope you'll visit here once and enjoy it!

Rikakoさん : my name is Claudio Ito and I'm a photographer, I would love to meet and photograph this wonderful work by the AMAs. On Tuesday the 16th I will go with my brother to look for you in your city so that you can show us this fantastic world you live in. See you later and good night !

Thanks for leaving such a nice comment! I hope I can upload more videos to introduce Ama culture.

I hope you keep on making more videos. I have always been fascinated by all bodies of water as fishing has been a very big part of my life. The world needs to know and understand that traditional methods are best in order to preserve our seas and resources.

@@RikakoTheAmaIt is! I have always been fascinated with Japanese culture and have always loved to be near the water. I am always appreciative of what the ocean, lakes, and rivers give us. Currently in the US, we're dealing with the overpopulation of sea urchin as they are depleting the kelp forests. If only we had such a strong market for uni here, it would provide so many opportunities for others to dive and manage the population as it is becoming much more difficult for natural predators to control it. The poor abalone and other species dependant on kelp are declining in numbers due to it.

Thanks for showing sharing this with us. Sorry for being pedantic, but at 1:07 you mentioned that you do not use 'oxygen tanks'. I'd like to point out that scuba divers do not dive with oxygen tanks either. They dive with air tanks (occasionally enriched air, 'Nitrox'), but never, ever with oxygen tanks, as pure oxygen is toxic under pressure.

Beautiful video! :) Very educative :)

Hi Rikako-san thank you so much for making this video, really appreciate it! It's so educative and lovely to watch. I'm Pari from Indonesia, have been interested in Ama since 2014. So, in September 2015 I traveled to Japan and visited Toba. I only spent a few days there exploring the city and accidentally met Ama in Osatsu. It was one of the happiest days of my life :) Hopefully I'm able to visit Ijika one day and meet you in person to learn about Ama culture :) Keep diving and also keep creating :D Because I'm looking for another content about Ama on this channel. Stay safe and healthy~

Oh, thank you!

What is the ring float made from? Do Ama usually make that float themselves from something? Maybe an old fishing float that they cut up?

@RikakoTheAma

Good question! I just uploaded a video for introducing the float a few days ago. Please check out my latest videoAma's Diving Gear "Tampo" if you are interested. I hope you like it!

Ehh this is a very good video, thank you for sharing. You speak English very well too! If you can, could you talk about the breathing technique please? I'm very interested in free diving. I would visit when possible:)
