A guide for this piece: about $86, 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 Cardigan Grown Wild
Mihara Yasuhiro takes the most domestic of garments and lets the yarn run riot, until the cardigan becomes a small sculpture of looped cotton. Worn over something plain, it does all the talking; the beige keeps it quiet enough to live with every day.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer knitwear and textural statement pieces

A shaggy knit cardigan from MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15CD501: a short, boxy body worked in long looped cotton pile, so dense that the garment reads almost like a pelt. Beige, tagged 46.
The Piece
Texture carries the whole argument. Every inch is covered in long, curling loops of yarn in sandy beige, each strand a slightly different tone, so the surface shifts between oatmeal, straw and pale khaki as it moves. Laid flat, the outline is short and generous: a cropped length, broad shoulders and full sleeves that fall well past the wrist.
The knit is heavy and the hand is dry, closer to a rug or a shearling than to an ordinary cardigan. At the neck sits the square Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO label in black on cream, and the care label confirms the reference, the size and a blend of 92% cotton with 8% acrylic.
Mihara Yasuhiro has long treated familiar garments as raw material to be distorted, aged and exaggerated. Here the humble cardigan is pushed almost to sculpture, yet it remains easy to wear over a plain tee or an open collar shirt.
