A guide for this piece: about $90, 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.

The 1980s Shroomy Tunes shirt, a gleefully subversive American parody of Looney Tunes, printed on a single-stitch Stedman body and practically unworn.
The Piece
Bootleg parody shirts were a fixture of American concert car parks and boardwalk stalls in the 1980s, twisting beloved cartoons into countercultural jokes. Shroomy Tunes is one of the most celebrated of them, popular enough to have been reproduced many times since, which makes an original in this condition all the harder to find.
One side shows Bugs Bunny in a peace-sign shirt flashing a V inside the orange and yellow Looney Tunes target, with Toke up Doc in green lettering. The other side gathers Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn and friends around a campfire above Shroomy Tunes in mushroom-coloured letters. The body is a white Stedman Super 50 in a polyester and cotton blend, made in USA, with single-stitch sleeves and hem and a tubular body.
