Ama Fishing in Modern Society: From History, Fishing Methods, and Relations with Local Society

We will present the history of ama fishing, which has been practiced in Japan for thousands of years. We will introduce fishing methods known as "sustainable fishing" through actual items such as fishing gear. Ama fishing is a method of fishing that was born from the natural environment including the topography and weather, and group fishing has fostered a specific culture within the local community called ama culture. While exploring the relationship between traditional livelihoods and local communities, we will also touch on contemporary issues.
