A guide for this piece: about $34, 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.

Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

The letters of the Hollywood sign sit along a dark ridge against a sky burning from orange to deep red: Ed Ruscha's Hollywood, as a large four-colour offset poster, 70 x 100 cm.
The Piece
Ed Ruscha moved to Los Angeles in 1956 and made words and the landscape of the city his subject. He first turned the Hollywood sign into art in the late 1960s, and it became one of his signature motifs: a name, a place and a dream at once, spelled out in giant white letters on a hill.
In this image the sign is seen in reverse, as if from behind the hill, so the familiar word reads backwards along the skyline. The colour does the rest, a long horizontal band of sunset that feels like the end of a film. The composition is wide and low, floating in a generous white margin, with a short credit line below.
The poster is unsigned and not editioned, as the description states. It is described as kept unframed and unused since purchase.
