A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 black canvas low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A09FW733, with a cream rubber toe cap on the sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
This is the house answer to the plain canvas plimsoll. The upper is black cotton duck with contrast white stitching, a raw-edged collar and seven pairs of metal eyelets carrying wide, soft white laces. A cream rubber toe cap wraps the front of each shoe, picking up the colour of the sole below.
That sole is the Original Sole, hand-sculpted so the cream sidewall swells and dips around the foot as though shaped from clay rather than cut from a mould, with a fine black line where it meets the upper and a diamond tread beneath. Inside, a woven tongue label carries the house motto, with the reference and size printed beneath it.
A familiar silhouette, made strange in the best way.

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.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
