Interview with tsugara-jamisen player, Noriko Tadano, in 2009
Originating from Chiba prefecture, Noriko started playing the shamisen when she was 6. Coming to Melbourne as a Japanese assistant language teacher (ALT) she has been performing shamisen in order to let more Australians know about Japanese culture. Currently, Noriko actively performs live shows on the streets and is featured in various festivals and concerts whilst working with other musical instruments and music genres. In the past, she has performed in the Japan Australia Music Goodwill Mission Xmas Concert at Sydney Opera House on December 26th, 2009.
