A guide for this piece: about $446, 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.

Flowers in Winter Light
Reduced to yellow line on plum, Murakami's flowers become pattern and memory. The smiles remain, but the mood is cooler and more reflective than his rainbow fields.
Best for: Collectors who prefer a restrained, two-colour Murakami from a small edition

December Remembrance, a 2019 Takashi Murakami silkscreen from a small edition of 100, offered as signed. An image of 33 x 37.3 cm on a sheet of 38 x 47 cm.
The Piece
Here Murakami strips his famous flowers back to line. Every bloom is drawn in yellow outline on a deep plum ground, petals, faces and wide smiles all reduced to a single colour, so the field reads like a pattern on a winter textile. The flowers vary in size from a few large faces to small ones caught at the edges, and the eye keeps moving across the sheet without a fixed centre.
The two-colour scheme gives this print a quieter, more graphic mood than the rainbow flower fields, and silkscreen lays the yellow down crisp and flat. With an edition of only 100, it is a smaller run than the 300-sheet offset prints from the same studio. The page describes the sheet as bought from Kaikai Kiki and kept unframed, to be sent in its original packing.
