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.

Night Canvas, Poured Base
Black canvas laced in black, so the eye drops straight to the pale, rippling Original Sole that seems to have been poured around the foot and left to set.
Best for: Wearers who want the house sole in a darker, quieter key
Condition notes
Light wear: soft creasing to the canvas, light marks on the toe caps and sidewalls, even outsole wear with the tread still clear.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade

A black canvas low-top from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A01FW702, laced in black and set on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 44.
The Piece
The outline is the classic canvas court shoe: black cotton canvas with white contrast stitching, rubber toe caps and metal eyelets. Here the laces are black as well, which keeps the upper dark and lets the sole carry the whole design.
That sole is the Original Sole, sculpted by hand so its pale sidewalls swell and ripple unevenly around the foot, as though the rubber had softened and set again. The outsoles are pressed with a diamond tread, and the printed reference and size sit inside the tongue.
A darker take on the most recognisable sole in the archive.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the sculpted sole, the outsole tread and the printed reference and size inside the tongue are all shown among the frames. Brush dust from the canvas and sole ridges with a soft dry brush, wipe the toe caps with a damp cloth, and let the pair dry naturally away from direct heat.
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.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
