A guide for this piece: about $61, 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 Real Robot Called Atom
In 2017 Kodansha joined Tezuka Productions, NTT Docomo, Fujisoft and VAIO to build a working Atom. The parts came in seventy weekly instalments of Let's Build Astro Boy, and the finished robot, 44 cm tall, could speak, dance, recognise faces and learn the voices of its family. A ready-built version followed for those who did not wish to assemble it.
