A guide for this piece: about $23, 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 Dry Bones open-collar aloha shirt with an all-over Rockin' Jelly Bean print: red-haired pin-up girls and tiki carvings drifting through pine boughs and golden clouds on a royal blue ground.
The Piece
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Japanese painter whose pin-up girls, devils and monsters define a whole strand of lowbrow art, and Dry Bones is the Japanese label known for faithful reproductions of mid-century American clothing. Their aloha shirts bring the two worlds together, setting his figures into the scenic repeats of a 1950s Hawaiian print.
Here each repeat pairs a red-haired girl in a leopard-spotted cloak with a carved tiki, framed by Japanese pine branches and bands of pale gold cloud, so the shirt reads at once as Waikiki and as a classic Japanese screen. The royal blue ground is deep and even, the open collar lies flat, and the chest pocket is cut to match the pattern.
The Dry Bones neck label and the paper hang tag, illustrated with a Rockin' Jelly Bean character, are both present.
