A guide for this piece: about $127, 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.

Loud on Lined Paper
A notebook page is where a drawing starts, and Nara keeps it that way even at poster size. The drummer is his own love of rock made visible.

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 girl with a russet bob hammers a red drum with both sticks raised, drawn on a sheet of lined notebook paper: Banging the Drum, the offset lithograph poster released for Yoshitomo Nara by Dallas Contemporary.
The Piece
The image reproduces one of his coloured pencil drawings at generous scale, ruled lines and all. Yellow drumsticks blur with motion marks, the green shirt and orange drum are scribbled in with visible strokes, and the wide eyes are fixed somewhere past the viewer. It is Nara the music lover at full volume, and one of the most sought of his museum posters.
The description states that the poster is a genuine example bought from Dallas Contemporary, where it was sold as a museum exclusive, and that it has never been displayed. It is photographed rolled in its paper wrap; the first photograph shows the full image.
The poster is unsigned and unnumbered, as issued, and is sold unframed.
