A guide for this piece: about $1,115, 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.

Counting in Colour
Miyajima's digits count from one to nine and never show zero, a quiet meditation on life and return. Here they drift across a red field like a moment held mid-count. Described as an edition of three, it carries his number language onto paper.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese conceptual and light art
Condition notes
Red field and numerals bright. Small scattered spots and light toning on margins and mount.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade
Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

Seven-segment numerals, the glowing digits of Tatsuo Miyajima's LED counters, drift in loose rows across a field of vivid red in this silkscreen from his Floating Time series, offered as hand-signed, sealed and numbered 2/3.
The Piece
Miyajima's numbers count from one to nine and go dark, never showing zero, a figure for life, death and return. Floating Time carries them into projected light; this sheet carries them into print, with digits in pink, violet, orange and deep blue, some bright, some fading into the red.
A printed caption at lower left gives the programme settings behind the image. At lower right are a pencil signature, the date '99, the number 2/3 and a red seal; a blind stamp marks the upper margin.
