A guide for this piece: about $512, 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.

Refusing the Tears
The title is a refusal, and the cutting is as stubborn as the girl. Nara uses the roughness of the block to say what a smooth line could not.
Best for: Collectors who favour Nara at his most graphic, with text in the image
Condition notes

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.

A girl in a pale blue smock kneels among rough-cut waves with one amber eye fixed on the viewer, and the words of the title fall beside her in red: Don’t Wanna Cry, a 2010 woodcut by Yoshitomo Nara.
The Piece
Here Nara lets the knife show. Hair, ground and sky are gouged in short, quick strokes, and the heavy black contour is cut, not drawn, giving the figure the bluntness of a folk print. Brown, blue and two reds sit on a warm buff ground.
The sheet is numbered 35/50 in pencil at the lower left of the image and is offered as hand-signed at the lower right; both marks appear in the photographs. A Tomio Koyama Gallery label on the reverse of the frame, shown to the Desk, repeats the title, the year 2010, the medium and the edition number.
It is mounted behind a cream mat in a glazed frame of pale wood.
