Interspersed between the music is exclusive commentary from Yussef himself and legendary broadcaster Gilles Peterson. The project offers a rare window into Yussef’s creative world; a meeting of cultures, rhythms, and spirit inspired by the landscapes of Japan.
The gatefold vinyl comes with an Obi strip pressed in marbled Shibazakura Pink, a vibrant shade inspired by the Japanese springtime flower known for its resemblance to “lawn cherry blossoms.” The artwork, created by celebrated artist Barka, complements the music’s organic beauty with intricate, hand-drawn textures and colour.

Full transcriptions of the Yussef and Gilles Peterson interviews, in both Japanese and English
Detailed illustrations and photographs from the live sessions
