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.

Heeled ankle boots from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference B15FW716, made to look like a quilted chain handbag: burgundy diamond-quilted leather, a flap with a gilt turn-lock and a gold-tone curb chain looped across each shaft, on a slim stiletto heel. Marked EU 38.
The Piece
Here the house turns its humour from the sneaker to the evening shoe. Each boot is built as though a small quilted shoulder bag had been wrapped around the ankle: the diamond stitching of the leather, the flap that folds over the front, the gilt clasp at its centre and the chain strap swinging from eyelets at either side are all borrowed, quite deliberately, from the most recognisable handbag of the last century.
The result reads first as an accessory and only then as footwear. The toe narrows to a point, the heel rises slender and covered in matching leather, and MMY is stamped into the leather sole.
A handbag worn at the ankle; a joke told in fine leather.
