Fosco Maraini: The Island of the Fisherwomen (1962)

Ama traditional female divers in Japan. They dive into the sea and use specialized techniques to harvest seafood. Clad in traditional white attire, they venture into the ocean using wooden boats or floats. While underwater, they gather fish and shellfish, and their work has a rich history and cultural significance. Ama's occupation is demanding, as they make a living from the sea while embracing the beauty of the underwater world.

I totally forgot about this lady 🥲 but she was my rp character for a group that never really got off the ground, but I still like her design!

Hashihita Maho is the captain of the 6th division, the special forces unit made for missions into Hueco Mundo. Captain Hashihita is no stranger to danger and relying on sheer skill to keep her alive- in her human life she was an Ama, a free diver from the Hei period of Japan. The thrill of the dive and danger inherent to it stuck with Captain Hashihita, and as a Shinigami she has always been attracted to the most absolute batshit dangerous divisions and missions. Her Zanpakuto, Shinkai, subjects her opponents to the same conditions she faced under the waves of the open ocean, a technique that is almost more useful in an interrogation room than on the battlefield.

現役の海女さんと新鮮な海の幸。

　「職場は海」

長年自然を相手にしてきたからか、海女小屋の中でも海女さん達の動きには無駄がなく、キビキビと働いていた。それでいて、とっても大らか。そのバランスがとても魅力的だった。
