A guide for this piece: about $77, 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.

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 Takashi Murakami poster from The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 2017, showing a detail of From the perceived debris of the universe. An offset sheet of about 45.7 x 61 cm, described as new and never framed.
The Piece
Two fierce eyes stare out from under heavy black brows. The detail comes from one of Murakami's paintings after the Zen patriarch Daruma, drawn in thick calligraphic line on a pale ground flecked with rust, and the irises are filled with his familiar concentric rings of colour.
MURAKAMI runs across the head of the sheet in blue capitals, and the exhibition details sit in small type along the foot beside the museum's mark, with the dates Jun 6 to Sep 24. The page records it as bought new and kept unframed.
