A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

The Quiet Sibling
All black, with only white thread to draw its outline, the Hank lets the Original Sole speak in a lower voice: a plimsoll that seems to have melted and set again, built for daily wear.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers who prefer a quiet palette
Condition notes

The Hank Low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C08FW704: black canvas with white contrast stitching, a rubber toe cap and the hand-sculpted Original Sole, here in black. Size EU 40.
The Piece
The side profile leads. The Hank borrows the low court silhouette of a classic canvas plimsoll, then rebuilds it in the house manner: the black Original Sole swells and dips as if it had melted and set again, and its edges are wrapped by a single line of stitching. At the toe, a black rubber cap is lifted at the rim to reveal a pale grey layer beneath.
The upper is heavy black canvas outlined in white thread, with nine pairs of metal eyelets and black flat laces. The collar is left raw and frayed, and the cream canvas lining is printed with the house label at the insole. Inside the tongue, the MMY Footwear tab carries the Wearing Instructions: Trust yourself.
The Hank is the quieter sibling of the Blakey, a sneaker that rewards a second look rather than demanding the first.
