A guide for this piece: about $476, 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.

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 sealed skateboard deck from 2001, produced with BRUTUS magazine for its feature issue on Yoshitomo Nara and Takashi Murakami. A scowling Nara girl fills the centre while a wave of blue splashes runs from nose to tail.
The Piece
The image is a joint one. Nara's green-eyed girl, navy bob and down-turned mouth, sits across the middle of a white ground; small cartoon figures ride at either end, one of them on a skateboard of her own. It records the moment both artists shared a magazine cover and a wider public.
The natural wood underside is printed with a production credit naming the feature issue and its date, September 1, 2001, with copyright lines for both artists and the publisher, and partner marks. It is described as one of 100 decks and remains in its shrink wrap.
