In this image from our photography archives, Shoji "Swifty" Sugawara (center) holds court at his legendary Tokyo jazz club, Basie. Sugawara popularized the "kissa" in Japan, a café or bar dedicated to listening to music in the company of others with reverent focus—and minimal talking. Basie has been closed since the pandemic and is no longer open to the public, but Sugawara agreed to open it for a story in National Geographic's March 2026 issue.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
