Japan's 100 Seas
Although we cannot live underwater, we Japanese have lived with
marine creatures and the seas, and the sea has
allowed us to coexist with them.
The insights of the underwater photographer,
Koji Nakamura, who once said, 'Fishermen are a type of marine mammal' ,
is his unending record of Japan's renown, A Hundred Seas.
