SERIES INCREDIBLE PHOTOS SHOW WHO WERE THE LAST “MERMAIDS” OF JAPAN

Japan in the ’20s, hundreds of women dived naked in search of oysters and pearls. With an enviable breath, they came to stay more than two minutes under water, even during the winter. Called Amas, these women were recorded by  Iwase Yoshiyuki  in your Kodak. Photographs are one of the only records of this ancient profession that became extinct a few decades later.

 

Using an eye mask and special slippers, women and girls, also known as mermaids, braved the seas for the entire Japanese coast. The reason they do this naked? While wetsuits not arrived in the country until 1950, cotton clothing hindered diving, and are uncomfortable when wet and is slow to dry.

2 minutes each dive in search of oysters was interspersed with short periods of respite. The marathon was made up to 60 times per day. Any effort, however, is paid. Within a few weeks of work, a nanny could more money than an ordinary man who worked for a year.

The men, moreover, seldom participated search for oysters. It was believed that a woman’s body as it contains more fat, was more appropriate to control breathing and low temperatures. Embark on this journey in real time with photos of Iwase Yoshiyuki below:

Buff naked guy sells luxury real estate

A buff, naked guy wakes, pads lithely through his luxury home, works out, swims, and makes coffee, all while still nude. Some might call it soft pornography, but for PlatinumHD Provid, an Australian marketer of high end homes, it’s just another way to sell real estate.

The 2.23 minute video, for private beachfront home 92 Savoy Drive, features well known Australian model Ryan Burke showing off his own…assets. Burke is nude during the entire video, though frontal nudity is cleverly camouflaged by a sink, a staircase or a weight bench. A nude woman sleeps face down on a sofa while Burke undertakes his morning ritual, but she’s merely an accessory on the scene. At the close of the video, Burke, still nude, answers the door to a fully clothed man – presumably a realtor – who hands him a pair of pants and then, addressing the camera, extols the privacy of the luxury home.

PlatinumHD Provid must know what it’s doing. The home, valued at about $2,185,000, sold after just 3,800 hits to the video. But we wonder how many of those were repeat viewers, keen to get one more look at Burke’s chiseled real estate.
