A guide for this piece: about $594, 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 Copy in Nara's Idiom
A small oil on canvas that follows the look of Nara's glaring girls without any claim to his hand. It is presented as the previous keeper presented it, as an unappraised copy. Its appeal is decorative.
Best for: Decorative walls and admirers of the Nara look who want an openly declared copy

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 framed oil on canvas in the manner of Yoshitomo Nara: a girl with a russet bob and a sidelong green glare, paintbrush in hand. It is offered strictly as a painted copy by an unknown hand, never as a work by the artist.
The Piece
The picture borrows the vocabulary Nara made his own: an outsized head, narrowed eyes, a pursed red mouth. The figure wears a pale turquoise dress with one yellow button and holds a fine brush out to one side. Paint sits thick in the hair and dress, thinner and softly blended across the face.
The canvas reverse carries a handwritten ink inscription. It has not been examined by any authority, and the Desk does not treat it as the signature of a named painter. We do the same.
