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.

A low top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A11FW702: mustard yellow cotton canvas, a white rubber toe cap and the hand-sculpted Original Sole, edged with a black foxing line. Marked EU 44.
The Piece
The shape is the familiar canvas court shoe, and the colour is the first surprise: a warm mustard yellow, set off by cream laces, a white toe cap and a thin black line that traces the top of the sole. The second surprise is the sole itself. The Original Sole swells and folds like wax that has softened in the sun and been pressed back by hand, so no two pairs share quite the same contour.
MMY sits on the tongue labels. Underneath, the outsole is cut in an irregular crazed tread around an oval maker badge. Inside, the reference A11FW702 and size 44 are printed beneath the house script line.
Bright as a road sign above; a small sculpture underfoot.

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.
