A guide for this piece: about $379, 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.

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.

Mr. DOB fills the square in deep red, his round ears and glittering eyes rendered in a field of halftone dots: And Then x 6 (Red Dots: The Superflat Method), Takashi Murakami's 2016 offset print with silver, from an edition of 300.
The Piece
DOB is Murakami's first character and his alter ego, a cartoon mouse-like head born in the early 1990s whose name came from a Japanese comic catchphrase. The And Then paintings pressed his face up close to the picture plane until it became almost an abstraction, and this print does the same: ears, eyes and a toothy grin crowd the sheet, cropped by its edges.
The subtitle points to the method itself. The red is built from visible dots, as in a magnified comic panel, and the eyes are filled with fractured, jewel-like colour and highlights in silver, so the image shifts between flat graphic and shimmering surface.
The print is four-colour offset with silver, offered as signed, as the description states, with the edition given as 300. The sheet is described as acquired new from Kaikai Kiki and kept unframed in its original packaging, and it will be sent in that packaging.
