A guide for this piece: about $189, 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 Whole Gang Takes Flight
Doraemon leads Nobita, Shizuka, Gian and Suneo across a clear blue sky on their Take-copters, with two small winged companions drifting below. Beneath them rise white clouds and a meadow of Murakami's smiling flowers. The title borrows the opening line of the Doraemon theme song, a wish for every dream to come true.
Best for: Collectors wanting the full Doraemon cast in a bright Murakami square

Takashi Murakami x Doraemon, Wouldn't It Be Nice If We Could Do This and That, 2020: an offset print with silver and high gloss varnish on a 60 x 60 cm sheet, offered as signed, from an edition of 300. Unframed and unused.
The Piece
Doraemon, the blue robot cat created by Fujiko F. Fujio, has been part of Japanese childhood for half a century, and Takashi Murakami grew up with him. In 2020 Murakami returned to the character in a series of square prints that set Doraemon and his friends loose in the Superflat world.
Here the whole gang flies in formation across an open blue sky on their Take-copters: Doraemon grinning at the centre, Nobita and Shizuka at either side, Gian and Suneo close behind, and two small winged creatures drifting below. Under them, banks of white cloud give way to a strip of Murakami's smiling flowers in every colour. The title is the first line of the Doraemon theme song, a wish to be able to do anything at all.
Silver and a raised high gloss varnish catch the light across the flowers and characters.
