A guide for this piece: about $50, 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.

An oversized shirt from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A08SH079: mustard rayon and cotton with a western yoke, pearl snaps and hand-drawn chain-stitch lettering on the chest and across the back. Marked size 46.
The Piece
The cut is a relaxed western shirt taken out to generous proportions: an open collar, a pointed yoke front and back, two flap chest pockets and a dropped shoulder that lets the sleeves fall long. The cloth is a fluid rayon and cotton blend in a warm mustard that catches the light like old silk.
What makes it Mihara is the embroidery. Loose, scrawled script is chain-stitched in rust thread over each chest pocket, and across the back a stack of words is worked in the same hand, reading in mirror image, as though the message were written for someone standing behind the wearer. Pearl snaps close the front and the deep cuffs.
A western shirt rewritten by hand.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch. The care label calls for dry cleaning only; rayon dislikes water and a hot iron, so press through a cloth on a low setting.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
