As promised a week or so ago in response to Paul Kraly?s query about titles
featuring Japanese women pearl divers, the Ama. I am using webmail, so
hopefully the Japanese text in this post doesn?t become all scrambled up and
unreadable.
Not a complete list of films or literature, so anyone other further
suggestions I would be very grateful.
Best,
Jasper Sharp
