A guide for this piece: about $599, 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 bad mood above the weather
She has climbed above the clouds and is still not pleased. The joke is gentle and the drawing is exact: a few lines, a red dash, a sideways eye. It is the Nara child at her most self-possessed.

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 chestnut bob rises from a bank of clouds, brow knotted and one green eye cutting sideways: an image by Yoshitomo Nara dated 2003, described as a lithograph, offered as signed and numbered, and floated in a pale wood frame.
The Piece
Only her head and shoulders clear the cloud line, a small figure in a teal smock set against a pale grey-green sky. The mouth is a single red dash, the nose two dots, and the whole expression lands somewhere between a sulk and a warning. The clouds are drawn in loose black scallops, the colour laid in soft, chalky layers.
The sheet has deckled edges and is floated on a cream mount so that its full margin is visible. In the lower margin are a pencil edition fraction and, at right, a pencil inscription with the date 2003, described as the artist's signature. The first figure of the fraction is concealed in the photographs.
