A guide for this piece: about $32,510, 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.

Napalm, the screenprint of 2004 in which two smiling mascots lead a burned child by the hands, offered framed from the edition of 500 with its certificate.
The Piece
Three figures walk towards the viewer on a grey ground: a cartoon mouse on the left, a fast food clown on the right, and between them, held by each wrist, the naked girl from the most famous photograph of the Vietnam war. The sheet is shown in a black frame with a wide mount, and a close photograph records the lower corner.
The keeper gives the size as 80 by 70 cm with the frame. The certificate of authenticity is shown with personal details masked.
The Cruellest Picture
Napalm, also known as Can't Beat That Feeling, joins the two most recognised faces of American leisure to the image that turned opinion against a war. Published in 2004, it remains the most uncomfortable of the editions and, for that reason, one of the most discussed. The smiles are the point: the horror in the middle is being walked through a parade.
