In the Toba-Shima region, the number of Ama divers has decreased over the last 50 years, from about 4,000 to 514. Most of them are now in their 60s and 70s, so the existence of Ama in the next 10 to 20 years is facing a serious risk. In addition to the aging population and lack of successors, changes in the marine environment have a major impact on the decline of catches, which contributes to the crisis.
To spread the word about this situation and the culture of Ama, this exhibition aims to stimulate interest in Ama culture through a variety of artworks by artists with ties to Mie Prefecture and the Toba Sea Folk Museum.
The exhibition will feature works that depict the Ama through different approaches, such as abstract paintings, prints, illustrations, photographs, collages, and dance.
