A guide for this piece: about $62, 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 Closer to a Pelt
Long cotton loops, bleached at the tips, turn a plain open cardigan into a shifting surface of black, silver and ash. It is texture first and garment second, and it photographs as dramatically as it wears.
Best for: Collectors of textural Japanese designer knitwear

A shaggy knit cardigan from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15CD501: long looped pile in black cotton, bleached at the tips to smoky grey and pale ash, cut short and boxy with an open front. Tagged 46.
The Piece
The texture leads. Every inch of the body and sleeves is covered in long, loose loops of yarn that fall in uneven tiers, almost like a fleece. The bleaching has caught the ends of the loops, so the surface moves from near black at the root to silver and cream at the tips, shifting with every turn of the body.
The cut is cropped and generous, with dropped shoulders, full sleeves and no collar. The fronts hang open, and the white printed house patch is stitched low on the left front. Inside, the Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO neck label and the composition label confirm the house and the reference.
Mihara Yasuhiro often takes a familiar knit and pushes its surface to the edge; here a simple cardigan becomes something closer to a pelt.
