SentoSensations 2025: Presented by sankaku and Demsky

🔥We want YU 🔥

Mark your calendars, because SentoSensations is back this year on 11/22 at Denki-yu, everyone’s favourite Tokyo bathhouse!

This year’s fabulous full-day festival celebrates two major milestones.

The first is Jugaad, the new album by Canadian beatmaker Demsky, a sonic return to his earlier explorations of downtempo. Jugaad is a Hindi word that refers to a clever, resourceful way of solving problems using limited resources often through improvisation, repurposing, or creative adaptation.

The second is the official launch of sankaku’s third volume, GODS — which while technically published (quietly) last year, never had a proper launch party of its own. More importantly, we might even have the new limited-edition hardcover, which may or may not be even cooler than the ramen one featuring Real Instant Noodles! You’ll just have to come and find out. Either way, any excuse to throw a party, we say….

Come join us at SentoSensations 2025! Here’s what’s happening, with more to be added:

・An exhibition by Singaporean textile artist Stacy Tan, aka YABAI YABAI

・A panel on creating community through commercial spaces in Tokyo, featuring Yu “Taz” Tazawa, founder Japan’s top art hotel brand BnA

・A panel on creatives-led independent publishing across Japan and Asia, with a lineup that includes Jeremy Smart, editor-in-chief of Design Anthology

・A non-stop lineup of DJs and electronic musicians from all over Asia

・Thai 👏food 👏truck 👏! As well as craft beer, and craft soda from Hong Kong

・A foot bath. Live music and a foot bath.

・Paperback copies of Volume 03: GODS and Volume 02: Ramen, in case you missed us the first time (they make great Christmas presents for the Japanophiles in your life tbh)

・...and more to come!

We have a bathhouse. We have Thai food, craft beer, a foot bath, a community of super fun and smart people, and live music. All we need now is you. Come make some new friends and meet old friends. See YU there!
