A guide for this piece: about $72, 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 Dinosaur to Carry
Mihara Yasuhiro has always treated the familiar with a straight face and a sideways glance. Here a Tyrannosaurus becomes a working bag, stitched in soft black leather and carried on a plain strap, so that the joke is told quietly and the object is still made with care.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer leather goods and sculptural novelty bags

A shoulder bag from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO cut in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus: soft black leather, a long zip along the back and an adjustable black strap with silver-tone hardware.
The Piece
The form leads. The bag stands upright on two broad feet, with a heavy head, small forearms and a tail that tapers to a point, so that it reads first as a toy figure and only then as a bag. The leather is soft and lightly padded, and the seams follow the anatomy of the animal rather than the lines of a conventional pouch.
A long silver-tone zip runs down the side of the body and opens onto a black textile lining. Beside the zip, the house name is printed in white: Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO. The strap is black, adjustable, and fixed to the shoulders of the figure with swivel clasps, so it can be worn across the body or carried short.
Mihara Yasuhiro, the Tokyo designer best known for his reworked sneakers and deconstructed tailoring, has returned to the dinosaur more than once. This version keeps the joke dry and the making serious.
