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.

Two faces of devotion
RUDE GALLERY built its name on rock and roll iconography, and here it turns to the oldest icon of all. The Virgin appears twice, once in bright thread on black and once in gold and plum on copper, with praying hands and a rosary label to complete the vow. A devotional jacket for a stage, not a chapel.
Best for: RUDE GALLERY collectors; rock and roll and religious iconography wardrobes
Condition notes

A reversible sukajan by RUDE GALLERY, the Tokyo rock and roll label, carrying the Virgin Mary on both faces: in bright embroidery on black rayon, and in gold and plum on a copper rayon reverse. Tagged M.
The Piece
The black face leads. Across the back, the Virgin stands in a rayed mandorla, robed in red and a starred blue mantle, above a pale blue banner, framed by arched lettering and small stars. Two smaller Marian medallions sit on the chest, and the collar, cuffs and hem are closed in black rib striped red, green, gold and blue.
On the copper side the Virgin returns in gold, plum and green above a scrolled Rude Gallery banner, with golden praying hands on the chest.
The neck label carries the house mark of praying hands and a rosary over the word Exclusive.
