A guide for this piece: about $29, 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.

A short Kenzo blouson in pale blue rayon, printed edge to edge with roses and leafy foliage in coral, gold and plum. Zip front, tag size M, professionally cleaned, with a small stain and a faded patch recorded.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Flowers have been the house’s signature from the start, and this blouson shows them at their most abundant: a whole garden printed on a jacket.
The fabric is a fluid, lightweight rayon in pale sky blue, covered in large cabbage roses, thistle-like blooms and sprays of green and teal leaves. The jacket is cut short and boxy, with a turn-down collar, flap pockets at the hips, a gathered elastic hem and cuffs, and a red woven Kenzo label at the back of the neck. The inside is unlined and shows the print faintly through the fabric.
Measured flat: shoulder 46 cm (18.1 in), sleeve 54 cm (21.3 in), chest (underarm to underarm) 50 cm (19.7 in), length 50 cm (19.7 in). Weight approx. 230 g. Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm.
