UNKNOWN ARTIST — Sen’nyū

also available:Vinyl35,54 €This limited edition photo book documents Meitei’s time in Beppu during the making of Sen’nyū, his latest musical work devoted to the atmosphere and memory of Japan’s onsen culture.Captured in the final month of 2024, the book follows Meitei through Beppu’s elemental terrains: sulphuric steam, mineral deposits, the worn interiors of Takegawara Onsen, and the slow erosion of stone shaped by heat and time. Each image offers a glimpse into the artist’s process: a visual record of research, observation, and immersion.Published in parallel with the album, the book expands Sen’nyū into a tangible experience. It is both a companion to the music and a standalone meditation on presence, landscape, and the deep listening that underpins Meitei’s practice.Concept by MeiteiPhotography by Hiroshi Okamoto
