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.

A Stream Heard in Gold
Murakami sets his grinning flowers over a dark stream on a disc of gold, the way Korin set irises and waves on screens. The round sheet makes it read like a moon or a fan, quiet and festive at once.
Best for: Collectors who love the link between Edo screens and Superflat

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.

A bouquet of smiling flowers rises from a black stream rippling with gold, all set in a disc of glittering gilt: The Golden Age: Korin Kansei, Takashi Murakami's 2020 round print, 71 cm across, from an edition of 300.
The Piece
The Golden Age series is Murakami's conversation with Ogata Korin and the Rinpa painters of the Edo period, who set flowers and water against grounds of gold leaf. Kansei, the voice of a mountain stream, names the band of dark water that cuts across the circle, its current traced in fine golden lines. Above it the flowers bloom in violet, red, white and blue, each with Murakami's round face, eyes and grinning mouth, and a red seal sits in the lower left, as on a painted screen.
The circular format recalls a fan or a moon window. The print layers four-colour offset with a cold stamp metallic ground and high gloss varnish, so the gold shimmers and the flowers read crisp and bright against it.
It is 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.
