A photographic journey inside Japan's legendary jazz kissas, intimate cafes where music is a cult and listening is a ritual. This volume, the fruit of fifteen years of work by photographer Katsumasa Kusunose, chronicles the spaces and spirit of this unique tradition. With an introduction by Devon Turnbull on the connection between the Jazz Kissa philosophy and the global revival of high-fidelity audio. Printed on Japanese paper and wrapped in a traditional OBI band, it is a cultural document and art object dedicated to those who experience music as a total experience, presented by Fortela.
