A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 hooded sweatshirt from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference J12HD541, in washed black cotton with a smiley face print on the chest, bleached and blurred until it reads like a ghost. Marked size 46.
The Piece
The house treats a plain hoodie the way a printmaker treats a worn plate. The black body has been washed down to a soft charcoal, with violet shadows where the dye has thinned around the placket and hood. On the chest the smiley face has been faded so far that only a pale, cloudy outline survives, as though left out in the rain.
The cut is generous and dropped at the shoulder, with a deep kangaroo pocket, a hood on round black drawcords through metal eyelets, and a small woven tab at the hem. The rib cuffs are cut open and frayed by design, and the hood edge carries the same tired, softened finish.
An ordinary sweatshirt, aged on purpose until it looks remembered rather than made.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the house label and reference were confirmed on inspection. Wash cold inside out in a mesh bag, avoid the tumble dryer and dry flat in the shade so the washed finish keeps its depth.
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.
