A guide for this piece: about $69, 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.

Where the monster began
One face is the 1954 film itself: a grey, stately Godzilla over the city and the red title down the side, as stark as the original poster. The other face is a quiet night in Kyoto with the monster only a shadow behind the roofs. Two moods of the same legend, in one jacket.
Best for: Godzilla collectors; reversible sukajan wearers

A reversible souvenir jacket from Sakura Style that returns to where the monster began: the 1954 Godzilla, embroidered rising over a city skyline on black satin, with a Kyoto night scene on the other face. Unused, size XL.
The Piece
The black face carries the drama. Across the back, Godzilla rears above a block of city buildings, stitched in grey, white and silver thread with the fine hatching of an old film still, while the katakana title runs down the left side in bold red embroidery. On the chest the same red title sits over the year 1954, and the raglan sleeves are cut from charcoal satin, finished in black rib at collar, cuffs and hem.
Turn it inside out and the mood softens. The reverse is black satin with cream sleeves, and the back is given over to a scene of old Kyoto: wooden townhouses, a figure in a red kimono on stone steps, drifting clouds, and the monster's silhouette rising behind the rooftops as a winged shape crosses an orange sun, all beneath the word Kyoto in white script. A smaller vignette of Godzilla before the sun sits on the chest, and the rib is striped in black and sand.
Sakura Style works in the embroidered souvenir tradition that grew up around Yokosuka after the war; here it is turned on Toho's first and most solemn monster film.
