A guide for this piece: about $86, 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.

Dehara and Atom
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
The series opened on Fuji TV on New Year's Day 1963 and ran to 193 episodes, ending on New Year's Eve 1966; at its height it was watched by 40 per cent of Japanese viewers with a television, and 104 episodes were adapted into English for American broadcast between 1963 and 1965. More figures stand on the soft vinyl shelf.
