The book is the result of over fifteen years of dedicated work by photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose, who has meticulously documented these intimate spaces and the people who keep their spirit alive. The first cafés dedicated to playing recorded jazz opened in Japan in the late 1920s, reflecting the country’s early fascination with Western culture and music. Although many closed during World War II, the post-war period saw Jazz Kissa return in even greater numbers, spreading across Japan as quiet sanctuaries for dedicated listening. These spaces preserve an almost spiritual relationship with sound— slow, immersive, and deeply intentional—in a world where music has become increasingly disposable and attention fragmented.\" - ERG Media\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehigh quality Japan import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes OBI strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1st edition hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.8\" x 14\", 336 pages, 4.9 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jazz Kissa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover Book","offer_id":42981126996058,"sku":"fr-5522","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/jazzkissa-book-1.jpg?v=1780681148","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/jazz-kissa-the-soul-of-japanese-listening-culture-hardcover-book","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
