Did you know that for over two millennia, the Ama (sea women) of Japan have been free-diving into the cold Pacific waters? 🌊 Without oxygen tanks or modern scuba gear, these incredible women hold their breath for up to a minute to harvest abalone, seaweed, and pearls. 🙌 Historically, women were chosen for this role because of their ability to withstand the cold. They became essential to the pearl industry when Kokichi Mikimoto created the world’s first cultured pearls right here in Toba. Today
