Legende se pletu na tradiciji japanskih žena iz ribarskih naselja koje izranjaju bisere iz mora. Zovu ih Ama i njihove fotografije neodoljivo teraju da verujemo da su sirene stvarno postojale.
Mlade žene ronile bi na dah u često ledenoj vodi, po dva minuta, i izranjale samo na nekoliko sekundi da bi ponovo uhvatile vazduh. Tražile su školjke.

Zaranjale bi po 60 puta u cugu, i tako tri puta dnevno. Verovalo se da žene mogu duže da zadrže dah od muškaraca, a sa takvom posvećenošću, mogle su u jednoj sezoni da zarade više nego muškarci u njihovom selu za godinu dana.
„Ama“ znači „žene mora“, tako su ih zvali.
Moderan način života olakšao je pravila igre, sada rone opremljene maskama i ronilačkim odelima. Ipak, njihove fotografije neuporedive su s onim kojima je japanski fotograf Jošijuki Ivase sačuvao sećanje na poslednje sirene.
This is the work of Japanese photographer Yoshiyuki Iwase (1904-2001). Yoshiyuki was born in in Onjuku, a fishing village on the pacific side of the Chiba peninsula, near Tokyo Bay. He spent his career photographing the ama free divers, women who fished along the coast.

In the late 1920s, Yoshiyuki received a Kodak camera as a gift and he started to photograph the girls and women who harvested seaweed, turban shells, oysters, pearls and abalone from along the coastline. pic.twitter.com/ztO3UEKL7n
