A CALENDAR AND A FACELIFT
Some traditions go on without end. Our Blue & White calendar is one. We have been creating fresh and original designs every year for nearly 40 years and are already thinking of next year’s theme. The new 2017 calendar is all about patterns. Patterns of Textiles old and new, and the continuum of the Japan textile lexicon/ tradition that Blue & White hopes to perpetuate.

CHANGE
Some traditions are subject to change. And the change at Blue & White will be a big one. After 41 years, we are being forced to move due to our new next door neighbors, Aeon Supermarket which is remodeling our old building to comply with earthquake restrictions. Blue & White, though unscathed by the huge earthquake of 2012, apparently does not live up to standards and so must be torn down – can you believe it!?!? We can’t!
In order to remain the same, you must change, our landlord told us . . . so after the initial, and ongoing heart break, we are determined to make the CHANGE a CHANCE to clean up and clear out and upgrade and streamline and make a new statement of good taste in craftsmanship and the handmade excellence of Japan.
CHANCE
As a place of warm welcome and lively center of human exchange, Blue & White will NEVER change! We don’t know where we will move to. Somewhere closeby and in Azabu Juban, of course. But it will be soon.
The new Aeon opens on December 9th, ironically Blue & White’s 41st birthday. We will keep you posted by Blog and directly as well. We will make CHANGE a very exciting CHANCE for Blue & White to grow, though the space may be smaller ! – to redefine ourselves, and to distill the best of 41 years of a shop which is very precious to us all into a stimulating new space.
Look for the new Blue & White in January 2017.
Write it down in your calendar!
Oh, this is heartbreaking news, indeed… unthinkable, really. I’m sorry for your upheaval, but perhaps this is an opportunity for new growth and generative change for Blue & White. I’m so glad I visited your beloved shop in January of this year, after many years’ hiatus — it was so healing for me to be there again and to take a few treasures home to California with me. Many blessings to you, Amy and staff, as you navigate these next steps. I look forward to visiting you again in your new location!
I promise to be here next time you come Mari.
Just not yet sure where here will be.
Thank you for writing.
We shall treasure your blessings.
