ERG Media - Jazz Kissa

Overview

Jazz Kissa is an in-depth photographic study of Japan’s legendary jazz cafés. Over fifteen years, photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose documented these intimate listening spaces and the people who sustain their atmosphere and rituals.

With a foreword by Devon Turnbull of Ojas, the book connects the philosophy of Jazz Kissa to today’s renewed interest in high-fidelity sound. Beyond the cafés themselves, it explores the design of iconic Hi-Fi equipment such as Altec A7 and JBL speakers, showing how sound, space and object become inseparable. Designed and published by ERG Media, this is both a cultural document and a carefully crafted object.
