A guide for this piece: about $74, 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.

An unworn souvenir jacket by Hanatabi Gakudan under official Tezuka licence, the back fully embroidered with Astro Boy.
The Piece
Across the black satin back the robot boy and his sister Uran stand before a five storey pagoda and a fall of cherry blossom, worked entirely in thread. The sleeves are ivory and the rib is striped. Model TZSJ-003, size XXL: length 66 cm, chest 64 cm across, sleeve from centre back 89 cm.
Atom on the Sukajan
The sukajan, or souvenir jacket, began in occupied Japan after the Second World War, made by Japanese craftspeople for American servicemen on the pattern of the varsity jacket, and was later taken up by Japanese youth culture. Our guide to Japanese heritage jackets traces that story.
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
Hanatabi Gakudan made this jacket under licence, Atom and Uran stitched before a pagoda and falling blossom. More souvenir jackets hang in the sukajan collection.
