Remember when I showed you the black and white photos of ama, which are/were the Japanese topless pearl and sponge divers? It’s no surprise that more modern pinup photography in Japan would still make use of this cultural trope, but I was nonetheless delighted to find this lovely color ama vision:

Stunning……..absolutely stunning!!!
Nice pinup but..
….99.9999% of the ama divers in Japan are well over 60–I should look so robust when I am their age.
Discovery Channel documentary on current Ama divers…

Cute, but I prefer the originals!
I have a line on the probable source for this image, but unfortunately not the identity of the model. In Jasper Sharp’s _Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema_ (Godalming, UK: FAB, 2008) the same model in the same pose appears on a movie poster that Sharp attribute to a movie called _Lusty Ama: Loincloth Festival_ (1981). Two equally delightful additional models in appropriate attire (so to speak) appear in the background of the movie poster.
Awesome!
Thanks Bacchus…
