A guide for this piece: about $192, 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.

Three wide-eyed young women in boldly patterned robes crowd together by a window, halfway through getting ready for the day: future daily morning routine, Aya Takano's 2020 print, from an edition of 50.
The Piece
Aya Takano, one of the artists of Takashi Murakami's Kaikai Kiki, is known for slender, dreamy figures with enormous eyes, drawn with a manga lightness but set in worlds of science fiction and quiet ritual. Here the ritual is the morning. One figure wears her pale hair piled high, another lets long grey hair fall, the third ties back black hair, and their robes clash and harmonise in checks, stripes, flowers and birds.
The title imagines this ordinary moment in a future time, and the image keeps its strangeness gentle: the women look out at us half awake, unhurried, entirely at ease. It is an intimate sheet, best seen close.
The print combines an archival pigment print with silkscreen. It is offered as signed and dated, as the description states, and the photographs show AYA 2020 and the edition in pencil at the lower right, the number partly masked. The edition is given as 50. The sheet is described as acquired new from Kaikai Kiki and kept unframed in its original packaging, and it will be sent in that packaging.
