A guide for this piece: about $189, 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.

Doraemon, Dorami and a Cartwheeling Nobita
Doraemon swoops low over the clouds on his Take-copter while Nobita tumbles happily above and Dorami flutters at the right, with little Mini-Dora alongside. Below lies a meadow of Murakami's smiling flowers. It is the most playful of the blue sky images, all motion and laughter.
Best for: Collectors wanting a lively Doraemon and Dorami image in Superflat colour

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.

Takashi Murakami x Doraemon, So Much Fun, Under the Blue Sky, 2020: an offset print with silver and high gloss varnish on a 60 x 60 cm sheet, offered as signed, from an edition of 300. Unframed and unused.
The Piece
Doraemon, the blue robot cat created by Fujiko F. Fujio, has been part of Japanese childhood for half a century, and Takashi Murakami grew up with him. In 2020 Murakami returned to the character in a series of square prints that set Doraemon and his friends loose in the Superflat world.
This sheet is all movement. Doraemon dives across the centre on his Take-copter, mouth wide with delight; Nobita cartwheels through the air above him; his sister Dorami, in her pink bow, flies in from the right; and a tiny Mini-Dora bobs alongside. Below them, rounded white clouds rise over a strip of Murakami's smiling flowers in every colour.
Silver and a raised high gloss varnish catch the light across the flowers and characters, so the flat blue sky seems to shimmer.
