Immerse yourself in the soul of Japan’s listening culture with Jazz Kissa, a comprehensive photographic exploration of the country’s legendary jazz cafés, known as Jazz Kissa. The book is the result of over fifteen years of dedicated work by photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose, who meticulously documented these intimate spaces and the people who keep their spirit alive.
The publication includes a foreword by Devon Turnbull, founder of Ojas, whose handcrafted speakers and installations have become milestones of modern listening culture. His words connect the philosophy of Jazz Kissa with today’s global revival of high-fidelity audio culture. The book features a special study of Hi-Fi equipment design—from the legendary Altec A7s to iconic JBL speakers and custom-built amplifiers—showing how the physicality of these devices shapes the emotional listening experience. The aesthetic choices of these cafés are inseparable from the sound they create, making them both temples of music and showcases of outstanding design.
