I worked at Daibundo from ’99 to ’01 while studying Japanese dance, shamisen, and practicing taiko. I am helping Daibundo interview applicants.

While working at Daibundo I was able to study Japanese dance and shamisen. I spent a lot of my time practicing taiko and turntable.  Living in Japan was stressful at times but the Daibundo teachers, staff, and students were a really supportive group.  I highly recommend this position as a way to get to Japan!
