In what can be seen as the female analogue to The Thirteenth Year, Mia (Luna Wedler) is a 15-year-old girl who appears to be normal but can’t explain why her body is undergoing such radical transformations during puberty. Her adolescence is complicated by the fact that her uncaring father has forced the family to move far away, and Mia struggles both with her parents and the new kids at school, desperately trying at every turn to hide the fact that her body seems to be in the process of transforming into that of a partial sea creature. The Little Mermaid (2018) A live-action adaptation of the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. While traditional ama divers wore only a fundoshi (loincloth) to make it easier to move in the water and a tenugui (bandanna) around their head to cover their hair, Mikimoto ama wore a full white diving costume and used a wooden barrel as a buoy. They were connected to this buoy by a rope and would use it to rest and catch their breath between dives. The second, although I have serious doubts about the validity of the narration, has rather nice, colourful video shots to enjoy. Just ignore the dialogue. On Hegura island in Wajima city, rules state that abalone under 10 centimetres must be returned to the sea, with a punishment of two days without work if caught breaking them. Despite their efforts however, numbers of abalone and other shellfish have been in decline, in part due to overfishing, but also the rising sea temperatures which affects the growth of seaweed the shellfish eat.

Finally, I’ll leave you with a couple of short videos talking about the Ama diving profession. The first is a superb documentary with an interview with a former Ama diver. In many versions, the mermaids were seen as emblematic of the belief, which has been confirmed by evolution, that humans first came from the sea. But in many versions, a mermaid signals impending doom and disaster. A scary mermaid as portrayed in Milan Todorovic’s film Nymph (2014) aka Killer Mermaid.Anderson’s The Little Mermaid tells a story about how love has no right place, its place is everywhere and inside everyone’s hearts. Depictions of Ama are featured in old works of art, such as the piece below by master Kuniyoshi.

The most profitable pursuit however was diving for pearls. Traditionally for Ama, finding a pearl inside an oyster was akin to receiving a large bonus while they went about their ancestral practice of collecting shellfish. That changed when Kokichi Mikimoto, founder of Mikimoto Pearl, began his enterprise. She fights off evil with the strength of her music and melodies. Watch this wholesome anime to find out how she protects her kingdom. 6. Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid

Once this critical process was completed, the ama then carefully returned the oysters to the seabed – in a place where they were protected from external dangers (such as typhoons and red tide). He added: “You see adverts on television with models who are very thin, but the mermaid is like a tribute to the great majority of women who are curvy, especially in our country.

Daryl Hannah said she was obsessed with Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” as a child and even practiced swimming with her legs bound together, which made this role extra-easy for her.
