Well, I lived in Tasmania(Australia) when I was a kid, and lived in Melbourne from secondary school(junior high).
I have been to Japanese primary schools, and high schools but most of my schooling was in Australia. I did metal work(金属工芸)at university.
When I was a kid, I studied Japanese at home, through correspondence and at a special Saturday school but I really ddidn't like it. So at the Saturday school I used to wag(さぼる) with my friend a lot.
I like art, music, visual art. I used to play the piano when I was a kid, now I play the koto and sing. I like deep meaningful and intense art.
I organise art events and improvise or play songs with all kinds of musicians, dancers.
So, right now I do all kinds of English lessons, I also teach at a kindergarten once a week.
Recently I started interpreting for a tequila importing company. It's quite new for me but I like the challenge. Oh, and I also do some business classes in freezing offices.
I got my Eiken 1st grade in year1999.
I also obtained my Koto teaching licence, 2008.
Is anyone interested in learning the koto!?
Well, that's my basic background.
I hope to learn more about you!
