Tokyo Jazz Joints

Step into the smoky, vinyl-filled sanctuary of Japan's vanishing jazz kissa culture.

Captured through the lens of Belfast-born photographer Philip Arneill and developed alongside writer James Catchpole, Tokyo Jazz Joints offers an intimate visual chronicle of Japan’s iconic jazz cafes and bars. From legendary Tokyo haunts like Eagle and Pithecanthropus Erectus to hidden gems in Kyoto, Yokohama, and Iwate, this expanded Japanese edition brings these dimly lit, hi-fi havens vividly to life. Rich with nostalgia and new original features, it is an essential volume for music lovers, audiophiles, and photography enthusiasts keen to explore a rare side of Japanese urban culture.
