Ama : dressed in traditional white clothes Ise-Shima Peninsula, which is surrounded by the sea, abounds in fish and shells. Women divers or Ama search for abalone deep on the ocean floor. (Japanese abalone almost inhabit on the rocks of the seabed, not on the kelp bed). It's very dangerous works, so Ama wears a special amulet called Seman Doman that protects them from peril. |
|
Nowadays many of them wear on wetsuits but they never forget amulets of "Seman Doman". 
I was surprised by the mark on the left side, it looks like the Star of David, but it's not. The star-mark drawing with a single stroke of the brush means that "protect from danger (evil)". |
