A guide for this piece: about $98, 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 sweeping cape coat in fine black rayon lawn from Ground Y, flooded with red and grey branches from the Myuto Morita collection, falling longer at the back than the front.
The Piece
Ground Y is the Yohji Yamamoto line built around genderless, oversized form, and this cape coat is that idea at full stretch. The body is cut as one great, wide shape with no set-in sleeves, so the cloth falls from the shoulders like a cloak and moves with the slightest turn. Buttons run down a plain black placket, a calm spine for everything around it.
Across the back and sides spreads a print of tangled branches in vivid red and smoky grey, as if a winter forest had been painted straight onto the cloth. Rayon lawn gives the coat a light, fluid hand that drapes rather than stands, and the hem drops from front to back for a dramatic profile.

Authenticity & Care
Labels, stitching, print and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch. Rayon is delicate when wet, so have the coat professionally dry cleaned and steam out creases rather than pressing hard. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
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.
