Synopsis
The appeal of blue and white is universal. The color combination of sky and cloud, of sea and wave, finds expression in countries around the world, from Finland to Thailand, from Guatemala to Mali. But perhaps in Japan more than anywhere else the blue and white aesthetic--pristine, simple, serene--defines elegant taste., Featuring the distinctive style of Amy Sylvester Katoh and the stunning photos of Yutaka Satoh, the expression of blue and white in Japanese design takes myriad forms, from the ephemeral beauty of a wind-blown noren curtain to the geometric boldness of zabuton cushions. These various objects all convey the same lyrical message, inspiring us to rethink ways of collecting, creating, and living with Japanese blue and white.

    Ordered from USA and arrived to me in UK about 10 days later. Book appropriately packaged and mostly as described. Was missing the cd as listed but communication with the seller was friendly and polite if not a little confusing - partial refunds are only offered after you start the formal eBay return request process, they aren't capable of giving refunds after simple messaging to customer service. All in all though, great value and a positive transaction. Would interact again 👍

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
