He was appointed to these tasks when he was age 31 and 35 respectively, and chiefly taught Chinese song. In late [[1747]], from 12/13, he was assigned to oversee the water clock (''rôkoku'') at [[Shuri castle]], and so was pulled away from his appointment as music instructor.

These appointments came after he spent eight years studying in China, from [[1737]] to [[1745]], on his own private funding.
