A guide for this piece: about $100, 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 chunky wool scarf from Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme, knitted with an Ultraman figure, an action pose from Ultraman Cosmos and the Yohji Yamamoto name in bold block letters.
The Piece
Few collaborations capture Japanese pop culture with such warmth. Knitted in heavy orange wool with deep red borders, the scarf carries Ultraman at one end, a blue-and-red figure worked stitch by stitch in a pixel-like intarsia, and a striking action pose at the other. Beneath them, Yohji Yamamoto and Ultraman Cosmos are spelt out in chunky white letters.
It is playful and strangely moving at the same time, a children's television hero rendered with the seriousness of fine knitwear. The yarn is thick and springy, the edges are finished with a contrasting stitch, and the length lets it wrap twice around the neck. The care label carries a 2001 copyright line for Tsuburaya Productions, the studio behind Ultraman.
