      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 ?!

    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.

    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.

    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~

    • @RikakoTheAma
      @RikakoTheAma  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! That's great to hear that you have visited Osatsu and met Ama there!
      I hope to see you one day in Ijika.
      I do look forward to seeing you!

    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.

    • @RikakoTheAma
      @RikakoTheAma  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for watching my video and leaving such a nice comment! Ama is such an unique lifestyle and it's worth being in this world now. I hope I can upload more videos to share the information about Ama. Please keep your eyes on that!

    • @Yuuphonixx
      @Yuuphonixx 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@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.

    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
      @RikakoTheAma  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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:)

    • @RikakoTheAma
      @RikakoTheAma  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's a good question. Yeah, I'll think of making a video of our breathing technique. It's actually pretty unique, and you may like it.

    ドルフィントレーナーになるのと
    海人さんになるのが夢なんですが、
