Product Description
In pre-war Japan, in the big cities of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, night shops would open typically from 5pm to 10pm in downtown areas. They would sell books, watches, tobacco and records. These records were a kind of small decadence, an outlet for people to enjoy jazz music in their homes. This is a compilation of some of those tunes, that brought some brightness into some dark times.
