Inaba-san Poised to Enter the Ocean

Inaba-san, the only remaining Ama diver in Futo harbor, getting ready to go into the ocean for work. The metal tool in her hand is used to pry shells from the rocks. She keeps what she gathers in the yellow net, which can be brought up to the surface by her husband and exchanged for a new net while she is still submerged. The hoses supply air and facilitate voice communication to ensure coordination between the husband and wife team.
