Diving deep: ethnographic research on Japanese ama and their role in local tourismAssociate Professor Timo Thelen, Kanazawa University, Japan
Japanese ama (women diving for abalone and seaweed) have been the subject of popular imagination and nostalgia, known from movies and documentaries. However, they possess a difficult relationship with visitors and tourism, anticipating exploitation and the loss of traditions. Based on ethnographic research, this talk delves into the case study of Wajima’s ama community
