A guide for this piece: about $72, 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.

Jeans That Never Were
A photograph of a much loved, much mended pair of jeans, printed onto something light enough to sleep in. It is Mihara Yasuhiro's favourite trick: the romance of wear without the years it takes.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer trompe l'oeil and printed trousers
Condition notes
Light signs of wear from use. Rips and repairs are printed and part of the design.

Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO trousers, reference C14PT404, that only pretend to be jeans: smooth polyester printed edge to edge with a photograph of worn, ripped and patched blue denim. Tagged 44.
The Piece
The print leads. From a step away the legs read as heavily repaired denim, with faded whiskers, torn knees, frayed patches and darker blocks laid over the thighs. Up close the surface is flat and soft: every rip and repair is an image, printed on a fluid polyester that moves like a track pant.
The waist is elasticated and drawn with a navy cord, over a working zip fly. Black panels interrupt the print at the hip and the hem, and the legs fall wide and straight. The house's signature stamped label is stitched at the front waistband, with the Maison label inside.
Trompe l'oeil denim is one of Mihara Yasuhiro's favourite jokes: the look of a lifetime of wear, delivered new and without the weight of real cloth.
