Kazuyoshi Kino's Phantom Lectures Cassette Tapes "Life's Scenery," "Encounter with Buddha," "Spanning the Void," "Great Compassion, Like the Wind" - Set of 4, All Volumes Playback Confirmed ◆ Product Description This is a set of 4 cassette tapes featuring lectures by Kazuyoshi Kino from Radio Tanpa Service. Specifically, the set includes: "Life's Scenery," "Encounter with Buddha," "Spanning the Void," and "Great Compassion, Like the Wind." These are the original lectures that were later published as the book "Buddhism in the Modern World." These are extremely valuable recordings, a reproduction of the "phantom lectures" that were originally recorded on open reel tapes and kept as a treasured collection. Originally sold individually, each set cost 15,000 yen, totaling 60,000 yen. Each set contains 6 cassette tapes, with each tape running for 1 to 1.3 hours, totaling 8 hours per set, and a massive 32 hours for all 4 sets. Each case includes the cassettes and an accompanying booklet with the lecture notes. It is unlikely that a complete set of 4 will be available again in the future. Before listing, all cassettes were played back, and the sound quality was confirmed to be good. Usually, with items using outdated media like this, sellers often do not check the condition, and even if there are problems with the item, they hide behind the phrase "no claims, no returns" and offer no compensation. However, as someone who owns and uses the equipment myself, I have played and checked the entire set before listing, so please feel assured when purchasing. For those who have been looking for this, please take this opportunity. Notes Each set contains 6 cassette tapes, an explanatory booklet, and is housed in a case. The booklets and cassette tapes are in good condition overall. As mentioned above, all volumes have been played back and the condition and sound quality have been confirmed. However, as the media is cassette tape, which is several decades old, and considering the original recording quality, there may be some unavoidable degradation in sound quality over time. While there are no problems when listening normally, it may not be suitable for those expecting the sound quality of current digital audio sources. We kindly request that you purchase this item with the understanding that it is cassette tape media.
