A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 side-zip lace-up boot from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A00FW203, in black leather with a finish that brings pale lines to the surface. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
At first glance this is a plain black ankle boot: round toe, a lace-up front, a zip on the inside of each shaft and a pull loop at the heel. Look again. The finish has been worked so that pale lines rise through the black wherever the leather was pressed, tracing the seams, the toe cap, the lacing and the curves of the quarters, as if the boot had been drawn in chalk and then fired.
The result is a pair that seems to carry its own sketch on the outside. It sits on a chunky amber rubber sole with a welt stitched in yellow thread, and the reference and size are stamped inside the shaft.
An experiment in surface, now carrying real wear.

Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the stamped reference is shown among the frames. Wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth, feed it sparingly with a neutral cream, and keep the cracked areas away from heavy flexing.
Delivery from Japan
