| Description: | WEALTH FROM THE SEA Women fish for seaweed then prepare it for export. Matsue, Japan. Various shots of women in small boats off the coast fishing for seaweed / wakame. The women look through boxes with glass bottoms to search out the weed. The seaweed is brought back to the shore where other women wash and sort it and lay it in the sun to dry.
