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.

Deck Shoe, Softened
A plain black canvas deck-shoe outline set on the house's thick, uneven hand-sculpted sole, so a familiar everyday shoe reads as something half melted.
Best for: Collectors of Mihara Yasuhiro Original Sole sneakers and Japanese designer footwear
Condition notes
Visible signs of use: greying, scuffs and marks along the pale sole sidewalls, light soiling on the laces, tread worn but intact, a few loose threads at one heel edge. Canvas sound.

A low top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A12FW729: black cotton canvas with white contrast stitching, broad cream laces and the house's hand-sculpted Original Sole in pale rubber. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
The upper keeps to the simplest of deck-shoe outlines: a black canvas vamp with a stitched apron, a low collar, white top-stitching tracing every seam and a small woven MMY flag tab at the side of the laces. Oversized flat cream laces are tied loose and generous.
The interest is underfoot. The Original Sole rises in a thick, uneven wall, its edges swelling and folding as though moulded by hand, so the pair reads as something half familiar and half sculpted. Beneath, a deep diamond tread runs from toe to heel in a warm brown rubber.
An everyday canvas shoe, recast in the house's softened sculpture.
