Irishman Plays Satsumabiwa

I came across this article and video in the Japan Times today. Being an Irishman myself, it sparked my interest. Thomas Charles Marshall is a full-time Satsumabiwa instructor at the University of Creation, Art, Music & Social Work in Takasaki, Gunma. I guess that means he teaches satsumabiwa to Japanese people. It’s like and Irishman learning a jig from a Japanese instructor. Bizarre but cool. If you want to learn more you can check out his homepage.
