DESCRIPTION:Every summer\, hundreds of samurai horsemen in full armor gallo
 p across  the plains in Japan to gather wild horses.  Reenacting this even
 t from  over a thousand years ago\, one can still see the traditional hors
 emen of  Fukushima at the Soma-Nomaoi Festival every July.\n \n Although g
 reatly impacted by the Great East Japan Earthquake and  tsunami\, the peop
 le of Tohoku\, Northeast Japan\, stood resilient in the  face of disaster.
   This is one of the many cultural traditions that is a  foundation upon w
 hich Japan is rebuilding.  The Consulate General of  Japan in Atlanta\, th
 e JETRO Atlanta Office\, and the Japan American  Society of Georgia will h
 ave a special exhibition introducing the Tohoku  region and its reconstruc
 tion.\n \n The exhibition will feature the culture\, history\, and traditi
 ons of  Northeast Japan that survived the Earthquake.  A Japanese armorer 
 will  be on hand to demonstrate the construction techniques of samurai arm
 or.  Exhibits will also feature traditional cabinet making\, ironware teap
 ots\,  and modern products from the region.\n \n We would like to cordiall
 y invite you to learn more about Tohoku&rsquo\;s  recovery from the March 
 earthquake\, and sample some of the finest sake  in the world.  This event
  is also a special opportunity to thank those  who reached out to help Jap
 an in her time of need.\n\n<strong>To RSVP </strong> call (404) 926-3019 o
