Japanese jazz bars and cafes are island worlds where time stands still, far removed from the speed and chaos of the modern urban landscape. Tokyo Jazz Joints is a visual chronicle of this unique culture, capturing the ephemeral beauty of these spaces. Created in 2015 to document Tokyo's myriad "jazu kissa," the project has gradually expanded across Japan. These dedicated jazz venues are slowly disappearing due to changing trends, an aging clientele, and gentrification. This book preserves these living museums before they disappear forever. Tokyo Jazz Joints is a documentary photography project by Northern Irish photographer Philip Arneill, in collaboration with American animator James Catchpole, both longtime residents of Japan.
