Duties and customs · View the estimate A guide for this piece: about $129 , 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 ornament scale
Reading the stars This piece is still being read. Every piece in the house is being scored for character; the stars fill in as each reading is recorded. Meanwhile, the guide below works for any piece.
The idea
Some pieces speak in a whisper and some in full voice. The stars describe that voice, from Quiet to Resplendent, so that you can find the pieces that suit the way you live and collect. A high score is never better than a low one. The stars describe character only, never quality, value or condition.
How a piece is read
Five things, each scored 0 to 2 and added together: Coverage (how much of the surface is decorated), Colour (how many tones, and whether gold or silver is present), Imagery (from plain texture to a full scene), Brilliance (matte to gilded or lacquered) and Silhouette (utilitarian to theatrical). The piece is read as it is shown or worn, ignoring boxes, stands, wear and patina.
What each band says about a collector
Still 0 to 1.5 Pure restraint. For collectors who prize silence, empty space and one perfect form, and who attach to an object through daily use.
Quiet 2 to 3.5 Understated. Material, proportion and patina do the talking. For collectors who love what time and hands have done to a thing.
Balanced 4 to 6 A measured conversation: ornament is present but never shouts. For collectors who want a piece to hold a room without taking it over.
Ornate 6.5 to 8 Rich and deliberate: pictures, colour and craft. For collectors drawn to story, who attach to what an object tells them.
Resplendent 8.5 to 10 Full ornament: gilding, heavy embroidery, theatre. For collectors who collect for wonder and keep each piece for life.
Find your own place on the scale
Five quick questions, no right answers. Choose the one that sounds most like you.
