Description:

You are mythical shapeshifting creatures who hide in plain sight and look-after a small seaside village. Even though the village doesn’t know you by name, they know your acts of kindness and caring. When someone is in trouble or in pain, you come to their rescue. Not because it is good, but because this village is your home, and these people are your neighbors and family.

Among them are the ama divers, the very last of their profession. For a thousand years, these women have dived in the clear blue water, gathering up abalone, clams, and sea urchins; a veritable bounty of the ocean. However, these days, the water is no longer clear and the bounty is almost gone. Fifty years ago, there were dozens of divers, now there are only four. One of whom is a girl who follows in her mother’s wake, and though she has passed on, the girl still hears her mother in ama‘s song, and when she swims in sea, she can still feel her touch.

Oh henge, children of The Golden Sky, these are the last days of the ama. May they receive your blessings and know the sea in you.
