A guide for this piece: about $3,900, 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 framed woodcut in the manner of Yoshitomo Nara: a round-faced girl, tongue out, hands folded on a desk, inside a pale green roundel. It is offered strictly as an unappraised copy after the artist, and never as his work.
The Piece
The composition borrows the vocabulary Nara made famous in the 2000s: an outsized head, dark eyes, a cheeky tongue and the deadpan stillness of a child alone at a school desk, printed in flat brown, green, blue and buff.
Below the image the sheet carries a pencilled number reading 2?/50 at the left and, at the right, a pencilled mark followed by the numerals 09. None of this has been verified and the piece has not been appraised: we present it as a square, well-framed decorative woodcut in Nara's idiom.
