A guide for this piece: about $366, 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.

A hand-painted acrylic copy after Yoshitomo Nara: a dark-haired girl with closed eyes against a pale ground, presented in a cream wooden frame.
The Piece
The girl is shown head and shoulders, her bob of black hair framing a round face, eyes shut as if asleep or in thought, her collar a muted olive. The paint is laid flat and smooth, with a soft shadow beneath the chin, and the canvas sits in a moulded cream frame with a linen slip.
The work measures about 51 by 42 by 5 cm (20.1 x 16.5 x 2 in) in its frame. A painter's mark appears at lower right and again on the reverse of the canvas; these marks do not change its standing as a copy, and the work is not by Yoshitomo Nara.
Painting After Nara
Yoshitomo Nara's children have been copied by painters, students and admirers almost as long as he has been painting them, because the flat colour and simple, decisive outline invite the hand to follow. Studies of this kind, made openly as copies, are valued for the hand that made them rather than for any claim on the original artist.
