A guide for this piece: about $31, 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 black rayon aloha shirt from Dry Bones, printed all over with Rockin' Jelly Bean's Tiki Baby: carved tiki idols, island girls and pale palm fronds.
The Piece
Dry Bones is the Japanese label known for exacting reproductions of mid-century American clothing, and Rockin' Jelly Bean is the painter behind Erostika, whose pin-up girls carry the polish of 1950s pulp covers. Their collaborations put his artwork onto classic Hawaiian-shirt patterns.
Tiki Baby runs in diagonal bands across a deep black ground: tall carved tiki figures in ochre and bone, a Jelly Bean girl lounging among them, and sprays of cream palm leaves and flowers that break the dark. The repeat is matched across the front placket and the chest pocket, the collar lies open in the camp style, and the cloth has the soft drape and sheen that only rayon gives.
The woven Dry Bones label at the neck is marked 40, size L, and the care label gives 100% rayon, made in Japan.
