The dreaded orientation...

Orientation has been about as hectic as I expected. My schedule has been wake up, eat, have a knock-down drag-out with traditional Japanese theatre and dance forms, sleep, repeat. We had workshops in Nihonbuyo (dance), Kyomai (dance), Kotsuzumi (shoulder drum), Noh (dance/theatre), Kyogen (dance/theatre), Shamisen (three-string guitar-like instrument), and the Tea Ceremony (hopefully this one is self-explanitory). Rather than go into all the nitty-gritty details of each, I'll just show you some of the pictures I took. Enjoy.


Orientation!
