A guide for this piece: about $218, 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.

Mr. DOB, Whatever the Weather
A royal blue Mr. DOB peers up from the corner of the sheet, wide-eyed and grinning, his surface flecked with dots and drips. The title reads like a shrug and a blessing at once: good things and bad, fine days and rough ones. It is a cheerful companion for any wall.
Best for: Collectors wanting a blue Mr. DOB with one of Murakami's warmest titles

Takashi Murakami's And Then... All Things Good and Bad, All Days Fine and Rough of 2018: an offset print with silver on a 50 x 50 cm sheet, offered as signed, from an edition of 300.
The Piece
Mr. DOB, the round-eared character Murakami has used as his alter ego for three decades, fills this sheet in royal blue. As in all the And Then images, he is seen in extreme close-up: ears and head run off the edges, while the pale face below looks up with huge, kaleidoscopic eyes and a grin of striped teeth.
Halftone dots, pale drips and smears break the blue, so the cartoon reads as something painted and printed at once. The title turns the series name into a small philosophy, accepting good days and rough ones alike. The image carries a printed copyright line dated 2014, the year of the painting it reproduces.
