I have to agree with Nat's points regarding the perception of the marimba in Japan. Many of the women studying marimba have no intention of being professional musicians and the marimba is viewed as a "woman's instrument."
On the other hand, so many of the significant pioneers of the marimba were women: Ruth Stuber Jeanne (for whom the Creston was written), Vida Chenowith (for whom the Kurka was written), Keiko Abe, and Michio Takahashi, to name a few.
