Book production management for Jazz Kissa, published by @erg.media Through the lens of photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose (@jazz_kissa ), 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. With a foreword by Devon Turnbull (@devonojas ), the book connects the heritage of Jazz Kissa cafés with today’s global resurgence of Hi-Fi audio. Printed on Japanese paper inspired by the hammered texture of the legendary Altec A7 speaker and wrapped in a traditional OBI strip, Jazz Kissa is both cultural document and collector’s object, featuring more than 300 photographs across 336 pages. 💞 For sale through @erg.media and in selected bookstores and listening bars around the world Published by @erg.media Design and creative direction by @bernardo.berga , @terrykritis and @olliestafford Studio images by @usefulartservices
