why?wabi

Where silence meets sound.

wabi records is a vinyl shop born in the quiet of Hokkaido, Japan.
Inspired by wabi-sabi, we believe true beauty lives in imperfection and time.

Each record we offer is carefully chosen—like a smooth stone shaped by years.

On its surface, you’ll find air from a long-forgotten time:
a room, a season, a love, a loneliness.

These invisible stories are quietly waiting to be heard.

We curate Japanese 7-inch singles, city pop, anime soundtracks, and other forgotten sounds.

At wabi records, we don’t just sell music—we share encounters.
