A guide for this piece: about $593, 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.

Kaikai and Kiki, the two small guardians who gave Takashi Murakami's studio its name, as a pair of PVC figures made for ComplexCon in 2018. Unused, and offered in their unopened packaging.
The Piece
Kaikai is the white one, a rabbit-eared sprite whose two tall ears carry the characters of its name, with a wide red grin. Kiki is the pink one, round-eared, with three eyes, the third set in the brow, and a single fang. Both are glossy PVC, each with its own illustrated box.
This version was produced for ComplexCon, the culture and design convention, in 2018. The underside of each foot is stamped with the ComplexCon mark and the words Made in Japan, the details that set it apart from the standard release. Kaikai stands 23.9 cm tall, Kiki 20 cm.
