A guide for this piece: about $86, 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.

Graffiti on a Western Yoke
A ranch shirt that has been through a sketchbook: hearts, stars and scribbles stitched over denim already faded to smoke. It wears like an old favourite that someone decided to decorate, which is precisely the point.
Best for: Collectors of decorated Japanese designer denim

A western denim shirt from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference J16SH125: faded black denim covered in hand-scaled embroidery, paint splashes and a sheer panel at the chest. Tagged 46.
The Piece
The front leads. Small embroidered motifs in pink, red, blue and green are scattered from the yoke to the waist: hearts, flowers, stars and loose signatures, stitched densely enough to read as a field of graffiti across the denim. The left chest pocket has been replaced with a sheer black mesh panel, and a printed house label is stitched near the right hem.
The denim itself has been washed and faded so that the black turns smoky grey along every seam, placket and cuff. White paint flecks run down the back and onto both sleeves. The cut is relaxed, with a pointed western back yoke, snap cuffs, a curved shirttail hem and a slightly dropped shoulder. The neck carries the Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO label.
A familiar workwear shirt, reworked with the marks of use and decoration built in.
