TOKYO JP After moving into a sparkling new home five years ago, Blue & White’s lease ends on December 31. At that time, our favorite shop in Tokyo will be packing up and out.
Right now, Amy and her daughter Sayako do not know where the shop will be landing. The hunt is on for a new home!
The door handle to Blue & White:
For 48 years, Amy Katoh of Blue & White has been a champion of artisans all around Japan. How can we help Amy and her team during this transition?
