"He is known as the first Indonesian folklore specialist, and is the author of Indonesian Folklore (1984), Japanese Folklore (1997), and Chinese Folklore (2007).") & 223 (
"He did not forget his interest in ballet though, so even while studying at UC Berkeley, he registered for the Martha Graham Style Contemporary Dance.")

There are print sources that can be investigated further.
In its June 2005 edition, the Indonesian magazine d'Maestro published an article by Rini Clara titled "James Danandjaja: Tak Ingin Seperti Pohon Pisang" (Refusing to be a Banana Tree), in which he discusses his reasoning behind writing prolifically and in which his incorporation of humor into folklore studies is explained. There is no digital copy of this source, and it does not appear to be listed in library catalogs.
An issue in the 2005 volume of Buletin PSMTI, the bulletin of the Chinese Indonesian Clans Social Association, is more widely available in academic libraries and appears to reprint this article. Danandjaja also explains the background behind his Indonesianized surname, which is another name of Arjuna. — Arsonal ( talk + contribs)— 17:42, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
