A guide for this piece: about $512, 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.

Arms Folded Against the World
The sleeves bind her, yet the look is calm, almost amused. In monochrome Nara trades colour for texture and the mood turns inward.
Best for: Print collectors who prize Nara in etching, with a small edition and gallery label

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 neat fringe wraps her arms around herself and looks out from under heavy lids: Straight Jacket, a 2002 intaglio print by Yoshitomo Nara.
The Piece
Where his woodcuts are bold and flat, this plate is all touch. Fine etched lines build the hair strand by strand, aquatint lays a grainy grey tone over the ground, and drypoint burr softens the contour of the long sleeves that give the work its name. The image sits small on a wide sheet with deckled edges.
It is offered as signed and dated 2002 in pencil at the lower right and numbered from an edition of 35 at the lower left; the individual number is covered in the photographs. A Tomio Koyama Gallery label on the reverse of the frame, shown to the Desk, gives the title, year and the technique as intaglio with etching, aquatint and drypoint.
The sheet is floated on white in a deep gilt frame under glazing.
