This is a little footage of Japanese relics - Ama divers -
from the 2008 documentary Discovery Atlas - Japan Revealed
Testaments to the long healthy lives of the Japanese are Ama divers. These are people, mainly women, who dont seem to know the meaning of retirement
Japanese women are known to work well into their 80's. In some coastal towns theres a 2000 year old tradition known as Ama diving. These 'sea people' as it translates, dive for sea urchins, scallops, abalone and pearls to sell at market. Then they cook the ones they dont sell for themselves. All I can say is, what a life, free from the normal stresses of life, and thats probably one reason why they enjoy long, healthy lives.
