Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

Far beyond Japanese new age. Hypnotic minimalism, strange electronics, organic instruments, and a deep pulse underneath it all. “Jikaku” alone makes this a serious Japanese leftfield gem.

Yasuragi no Michi may look like a Japanese meditation record, but once it starts, something much stranger appears. Akira Ito blends minimal repetition, floating synths, traditional Japanese instruments, and an unexpectedly strong rhythmic pulse into music that feels both spiritual and deeply physical. The standout “Jikaku” is incredible, slowly locking into a hypnotic groove that feels closer to experimental minimalism and leftfield electronic music than conventional new age. One of those Japanese records that becomes harder to categorize the deeper you listen, and that is exactly what makes it so special.

About the Condition

Grade	Description

+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
