Woven throughout the book is a design-focused exploration of the Hi-Fi equipment that defines the sonic and visual identities of Japan's iconic Jazz Kissa cafés, through the lens of photographer and historian Katsumasa Kusunose. From the legendary Altec A7s to JBL icons and bespoke amplifiers, the physicality and design of these machines are integral to the emotional listening experience.
Printed on a specially sourced Japanese paper that echoes the tactile texture of the Altec A7 speaker finish, and wrapped in a traditional OBI strip, Jazz Kissa is as much an object of beauty as it is a cultural document.
