A guide for this piece: about $740, 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 Hundred Smiling Faces
Murakami's flowers are relentless in their cheer, and that is part of their edge. With no centre and no depth, the field asks the eye to keep moving and never settle.
Best for: Collectors who want Murakami's signature flowers in a square, frame-ready format

Ohana-chan, Kawaii ne, a 2010 Takashi Murakami print in which his smiling flowers fill every centimetre. A four-colour offset with cold-stamped foil, 50 x 50 cm, from an edition of 300 and offered as signed.
The Piece
The title is a gentle compliment, roughly "Little Flower, how cute you are", and the picture answers it a hundred times over. Murakami's flowers crowd edge to edge in red, yellow, pink, violet, green and blue, each with its round face and wide laughing mouth. A larger bloom with blue and pink petals sits left of centre, the one face that seems to look straight back at you.
The flowers are Murakami's most recognised emblem, rooted in the Superflat idea of an image with no depth and no single focus. Here the cold-stamped foil adds a metallic lift to parts of the surface, visible only as the light moves. The page describes the sheet as bought from Kaikai Kiki and stored unframed, to be sent in its original packing.
