A guide for this piece: about $87, 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 large, slouching shoulder bag in soft black cow leather from discord Yohji Yamamoto, the house line for bags, made in Japan and built to soften with every year of use.
The Piece
There is nothing stiff or polished about this bag, and that is exactly its charm. The black cow leather is thin, supple and lightly creased, so the body folds and drapes against the hip rather than holding a rigid box shape. It has the same relaxed, lived-in quality as a well-worn Yohji Yamamoto coat.
The proportions are generous, and a second strap with a slim tab hangs from the side as a quiet asymmetric detail. A zip runs along the top opening, and inside a black twill lining carries the discord label, the made in Japan tag and a zipped pocket for small things. Plain and unbranded outside, it only improves as the leather takes on a gentle patina.
