"The woman diver of Boso Peninsula"

Since my parents' home is located in Chikura-town of Chiba Prefecture, I often visit there in summer every year.

Chikura is located at a peninsular tip. The sunlight of summer is strong and a marine color is very blue. It is the quiet sea following the Pacific Ocean.

When I am looking at the sea vacantly, there are white things which float in waves in large numbers. It is the wooden bucket into which the woman diver puts an abalone.

Furthermore, when it is looking in detail, it can be seen that woman diver's legs floated in reverse, and sink into the sea near the bucket.

The 4 or 5 woman divers become a group, and they are doing the abalone fishery here and there.

I asked "please let me take your photograph" of woman divers who carried abalones on the back and came up from the sea.

These photographs were recorded in the past 2 or 3 years.
