This year, we will be presenting the feeling of "Spiritual Jazz," which has "Love, Freedom, and Peace" themed sounds, which match perfectly with the "Circle of Life," the official theme of KYOTOGRAPHIE2016. We will also show how to enjoy the mixture of ongoing Crossover sounds that take in the perspective approach of the DJ. "SUiU" a flower shop in Okazaki, Kyoto will be in charge of designing the set decorations for the event and there will also be bottles of wine on display from "Diony," which is a long-established importer of natural wines in Kyoto.
