A guide for this piece: about $25, 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.

For Big John's 70th anniversary, Rockin' Jelly Bean painted a cowgirl in jeans riding a giant pair of flying denims, and here she repeats across a turquoise aloha shirt.
The Piece
Big John is the Kojima denim house widely credited with Japan's first domestically made jeans, and Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Japanese painter behind Erostika, whose pin-up girls carry the polish of 1960s American pulp art. The collaboration marks the label's anniversary with a picture only he could paint.
The print sets his cowgirl in hat, gloves and boots astride a pair of flying jeans, lasso in hand, with a banner reading BIG JOHN 70th ANNIVERSARY. She rides in vertical bands between columns of green, gold and white wave scrolls on a bright turquoise ground, and the open collar carries a joint Rockin' Jelly Bean and Big John 70th anniversary label. The shirt was issued as part of the anniversary box and is offered here on its own.
