A gaggle of sherpas convene in Brussels to plot a political path forward

In Mie Prefecture in central Japan, you can see the real Japan and, at the same time, discover something unique: ama divers, matsusaka cattle, and the world's first pearl farm. Swathed in the traditional loose-fitting white attire, an ama diver emerges from the surf clutching the wooden bucket that holds her precious haul. Today she has abalone, sea urchins and scallops; on a better day she will also bring up oysters, sea cucumber and even the occasional octopus. Stepping quickly up the beach - because while spring is in the air in this part of Japan, that breeze off the Pacific Ocean is still chilly - Kiyomi Koiso takes her catch into one of the divers' huts that dot the foreshore and stokes the hot coals that have been prepared by her colleagues. With a practiced flick of the wrist, she sets about prising the shells open and placing them on the grill. "Sazae," or turban shells, go on in their entirety and the scallops are bubbling in no time. "The lobsters in Ise Bay are famous for being the best in all of Japan and we ama have been collecting lobsters and other seafood for more than 2,000 years," 73-year-old Koiso tells me. All ama divers are female. They also decline the modern conveniences of air tanks, fins and other underwater equipment. And they are becoming older, Koiso tells me, because younger women prefer easier jobs. According to the latest figures, only 2,174 women are still earning their living from the ocean.

The prefecture revels in its reputation as "the soul of Japan," a title that is well earned because it is home to Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred place ...
