Enchanting black-and-white photos of Japanese food divers

From the mid-1950s, Kusukazu Uraguchi (1922–1988) spent thirty years photographing the ama , the Japanese fisherwomen and divers in the Shima region, where he was born. His admiring gaze is a powerful testament to their disappearing profession.

The exhibition was first shown in 2024 during the international photo festival Les Rencontres d'Arles and will be supplemented at Huis Marseille with additional photographs, a new video compilation, and recently restored vintage wooden panels.
