A guide for this piece: about $165, 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 film subject handled as a quiet portrait before the attack. The narrow format and two-colour scheme set it apart from the pin-up editions.

Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

Rockin' Jelly Bean's silkscreen poster for the film Alien, from the second press and numbered in the margin. It was bought new at an Erostika event in Tokyo and has hung since in the dedicated Erostika frame, which is included.
The Piece
The tall sheet is printed in deep blues with acid yellow lettering. A woman in a space helmet holds the ginger ship's cat while the creature unfolds from the machinery behind her, under the line that in space no one can hear you scream.
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the masked Japanese illustrator behind Erostika, the Harajuku studio and gallery he founded in the 1990s. His work joins American poster craft, lowbrow comic drawing and the pin-up tradition, and his prints are issued in small numbered editions.
