A guide for this piece: about $99, 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 Knit That Arrives Already Lived In
Mihara Yasuhiro has spent decades treating wear as a design language, and this cardigan says it fluently: a warm camel knit opened at the chest, the back and every edge, as if years of use had been compressed into one garment. Worn open and loose, it softens anything beneath it.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese deconstructed knitwear and relaxed layering
Condition notes

A heavy knit cardigan from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15CD531: camel beige cotton and acrylic, worked over with deliberate holes, small runs and frayed edges. Tagged 46.
The Piece
The front leads. A deep V neck runs into a button placket, and two broad patch pockets sit low on the body. Small holes are opened across the chest, sleeves and pockets, each edged so the knit runs a little and then stops, and a tiny embroidered motif sits high on the chest. The white house tag is stitched to one pocket.
Turn it round and the idea goes further. Below the collar the back is cut open in a rounded window, and the hem is left raw and uneven, falling longer behind. The shoulders are dropped and the sleeves are long and full, finishing in rib cuffs frayed into loose loops.
This is Mihara Yasuhiro's long study of the worn garment: a new knit made to look as though it has already lived a full life, cut generously enough to wear open over a shirt or a hooded sweat.

Condition grade C (good) on the Japanese scale, given with care for the designed distressing; see Japanese condition ranks, explained.
Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the house neck label and the care label appear in the photographs. Dry clean only, keep the iron away from the embroidery, and store folded so the open knit keeps its shape.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
