A guide for this piece: about $14, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

The Boy Robot, Plugged In
Tezuka's Atom has been printed on cotton for sixty years, but rarely with this much attitude. The front shows him at rest, wired into his machine; the back throws him at the viewer in full flight under his original title. The washed black makes it read like a tour shirt.
Best for: Astro Boy and Tezuka collectors; relaxed graphic tee wardrobes
Condition notes
Light signs of wear; faded black is the intended washed finish. Prints bright and complete in the photographs.

An Astro Boy T-shirt from Club Cotton BKK in washed black: Osamu Tezuka's boy robot wired into his machine on the front, and in full flight beneath his original Japanese title on the back.
The Piece
On the front, ASTRO BOY is set in red and gold block letters with a hot gradient. Below, Atom sits in a blue riveted pod, cables plugged into his head and chest, wide eyes turned to the viewer, red boots braced on the rim. Small vertical lines of his name frame the scene on either side.
The back is the bolder of the two. The title Tetsuwan Atom runs across the shoulders in large red characters, and beneath it Atom hurtles toward the viewer, fist forward, his red boots rendered huge in forced perspective with streaks of light around them. The shirt is cut in heavy cotton with a dense ribbed collar and has been given a washed, faded black finish that sets off the colours like an old concert tee.
