Since childhood, Ibuki Kase spent a lot of time around foreign musicians in Japan. He was especially close with Jamaican reggae artists, and believed he was Jamaican until he was ten years old. Naturally, this had a great influence on his personality, his love for music, and his sociability. At age seventeen, Kase went to Jamaica for the first time and took pictures. He visited Jamaica again in 2018 to take even more photos, and held an exhibition upon returning to Japan that generated positive media attention. ‘Jamaican Vybz’ is Kase’s personal and loving tribute to the people of the island, and includes images from another trip he made in 2023, when he met his hero, Buju Banton.
