A guide for this piece: about $299, 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.

The Artist Among His Flowers
Murakami draws himself mid-shout, glasses askew, swallowed by his own flowers. It is a self-portrait as cartoon, funny at first and then more candid than it looks.
Best for: Collectors who want a Murakami self-portrait in a small silkscreen edition

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.

New Day: Self Portrait, a 2011 Takashi Murakami silkscreen with platinum leaf, from a small edition of 100 and offered as signed. A square image of 70 x 70 cm on a sheet of 80 x 80 cm.
The Piece
Murakami paints himself as a cartoon here: round spectacles, a tuft of blue-black hair, eyes squeezed shut and mouth thrown wide open in a shout. The head floats at the centre of a dense field of his smiling flowers, every colour of the palette packed edge to edge, with the words new day lettered in pale outline beneath.
Platinum leaf runs under the flowers and catches the light as you move, a quality the close photograph shows on the darker blooms. The self-portrait is one of the artist's most personal motifs, half joke and half confession. The page describes the sheet as bought from Kaikai Kiki and kept unframed.
