I have never been there myself but know the sorts of things most people know.
The biggest stumbling block is being dependant on someone else for a year. I am not psychologically compatible with the idea of being a kept woman.
I would really like to be though.
If you heard it was 70% likely to rain, you'd take your umbrella. They have umbrella lockers in Tokyo.
And umbrella vending machines. It makes you wonder - they don't even have those in Manchester, and it's always raining there.

Would it count as being a "kept woman" if you spent your time there researching a book on/writing articles on Japanese crafting and aesthetics? (And, of course, liaising with suppliers to try an umbrella-vending machine franchise....)
Oh my goodness - you must must go. That is such a great opportunity and trust me a year will fly by. We came to live in Oman for a year or two and we have been here for 8 years now. Living abroad is such a wonderful experience, you can immerse yourself in a different culture and there is so much to learn. The crafting will be AMAZING and that is not to be sniffed at. Also we were just talking about going to live in Japan so it's got to be a good decision. I hope you can do it - you will love it so much and honestly being a kept woman is not as bad as you'd think !
