Experience Japan like never before at this year’s sensory loaded JapanFest! Enjoy the sights and sounds of live performances, touch Japanese silk kimonos and taiko drums, taste and smell authentic foods, and feel the spirit of Japan by listening to a Japanese ghost story. JapanFest Weekend will be held on September 16-17, 2017, from 10 am to 6 pm (Saturday) and 10am to 5pm (Sunday) at the Infinite Energy Center (located at 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, GA 30097).
Japan is internationally renowned for its performing arts, visual arts, and martial arts. Many people may have heard a Japanese drum or eaten sushi, but at this year’s JapanFest, you can “Experience Japan” in a new, multisensory way by banging a drum, learning how to make sushi, and practicing martial arts. Fashionistas can enjoy a pop culture fashion show, or they can experience the traditional kimono themselves, with the help of the Konnichiwa Club. For those who are fans of Japanese anime, Anime Village will be returning, with a special appearance by a Sailor Moon voice actor!
Music has always been well represented at the festival, and this year is no exception. JapanFest will feature a variety of musical performances, including the always popular Matsuriza taiko drumming, J-Rock and J-Pop, a shamisen duo, and classical music. There will also be traditional dance performances, and all are invited to join in the spirited Obon dance!
New this year will be performances by the Bunraku Bay Puppet Theater, showcasing an ancient Japanese puppetry art known as bunraku, which features puppets with complex movements usually in traditional costume.
Many of the approximately 550 Japanese companies based in Georgia will display their products in the Japanese Businesses in Georgia exhibition (JBiG). Interactive exhibits include the latest in Japanese technology, such as automobiles, tractors, and electronics.
For the younger set, there is a Children’s Area which has a variety of crafts and activities. There will be plenty of Japanese cuisine, so bring the family for a day of fun!
Separately, there will be a special performance held in conjunction with the festival, Saturday, September 16, 7pm-8pm, in the Infinite Energy Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. For more information, go to http://www.japanfest. org/specialperformance
