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.

A View from the Top Step
The title imagines the flowers seen from the stairway to heaven, and the image has that dizzy, looking-down feeling: blossoms of every size crowd together, blue and gold among scarlet and white. It is a cheerful, spacious sheet in a size that fits almost any wall.
Best for: Collectors wanting a bright Murakami flower field in a manageable size

Takashi Murakami's A Field of Flowers Seen from the Stairs to Heaven of 2019: an offset print with cold stamp foil on a 55 x 44.2 cm sheet, offered as signed, from an edition of 300.
The Piece
Murakami's smiling flowers fill this upright sheet from edge to edge, large heads and tiny ones jostling together so that the field seems to tilt towards you. Here the palette leans cool: cornflower and cobalt blossoms sit among buttercup yellow, scarlet and white, with the odd violet or dark-faced flower to keep the rhythm lively.
The title imagines a view from the stairway to heaven, looking down on a meadow in full bloom, and the image carries that light, airy feeling. Foil stamping lifts parts of the surface, so the field catches the light differently through the day.
At a little over half a metre tall, it suits a study, a hallway or a gallery wall alongside other sheets from the series.
