Step into the vibrant world of Japanese jazz with Nihon No Jazu No Rekishi, an upcoming VR experience that blends history, culture, and performance. This immersive project takes audiences on a journey through the origins and evolution of jazz in Japan, combining cutting-edge virtual environments with 360-degree footage of live performances by renowned choreographer Masumi Endo.
