It's more important than ever for our students to be exposed to other cultures, perspectives and stories, all of which better prepare them for a connected, "global" world. Motoko's engaging approach to storytelling, whilst incorporating important elements and tales from Japanese folklore, was a unique and fulfilling experience. Her performance was at once enriching and personal; drawing us in for an educational and enjoyable two hours that showcased her wide range of artistry. We will definitely welcome her back in the future! --- Jonathan Brewster, Director, North Carolina Japan Center
