Through the lens of photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose, Jazz Kissa takes you deep into the soul of Japan’s listening culture, where cafés became temples of sound and Hi-Fi speakers turned music into an almost spiritual experience. For nearly a century, Jazz Kissa cafés have been sanctuaries where music is not only heard but felt. Over 15 years, Kusunose documented these spaces, preserving their atmosphere for future generations.
