JAPAN: The Photo Sessions
- Feb 14
- 1 min read
A commemorative volume of photographs from Shinko Music Entertainment Co. Ltd., spanning the years 1978–1982 and marking fifty years since the band’s inception.
Presented in a bespoke slipcase, the set includes two signed picture cards from Steve Jansen & Richard Barbieri.
The book has been curated and supervised by Steve Jansen, and features previously unpublished images accompanied by his personal reflections on being photographed between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, during the band’s ascent to global recognition.
"Curating these images now is not an act of nostalgia - it’s closer to gratitude. Gratitude that others saw us with such attentiveness. Gratitude that we existed within their vision long enough to be transformed into something enduring. These photographs do not merely remind me of who we were - they remind me that we were witnessed."
When ordering directly from Shinko Music, the book comes with a black leather tray embossed with the original JAPAN band logo.
