Description
"Namiyo at Hanauma Bay" incorporates two series Teraoka was working on at the time the "Wave" and the "Hawaii Snorkel" series which featured snorkling pearl divers, based on Utamaro's "Pearl Diver" series. The diver has removed her mask as she senses the tentacles of an octopus caressing her legs.
