A guide for this piece: about $35, 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 navy rayon open-collar shirt from Dry Bones, its back given over to a Rockin' Jelly Bean beauty caught in the beam of a flying saucer.
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.
Here a single panel fills the back: a red-haired girl in a scarlet bodysuit drifts among swirling clouds and flying saucers, framed by vertical bands of striped cloth. The front is plain navy with the same stripe on the yoke and both chest pockets, and the buttons are cast metal in the form of old Japanese coins, each with a square hole at the centre. The care label gives 100% rayon, made in Japan.

Authenticity & Care

Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
