A guide for this piece: about $26, 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 Pink Friend from Melbourne
BFF, KAWS's shaggy, cross-eyed companion, stands in soft pink against a pink ground, holding up a black NGV sign like a placard. The image is sweet, deadpan and instantly recognisable. A neat souvenir of his big Melbourne show.

The KAWS BFF Pink exhibition poster from the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 20 September 2019 to 13 April 2020: an A2 offset print, 59.4 x 42 cm, new and unopened.
The Piece
KAWS, the New York artist Brian Donnelly, began as a graffiti writer and became one of the defining figures where art, toys and fashion meet. His characters, with their crossed-out eyes, have appeared as giant sculptures, paintings and collectible figures around the world.
BFF is one of the best loved: a shaggy, cartoonish companion with crossed-out eyes and a gentle slouch. On this poster BFF stands in soft pink against a pink studio ground, holding up a black placard printed NGV, with KAWS in white at the top and the gallery's name and dates along the foot. It, and has been kept flat since.
Sweet, deadpan and graphic, it frames well in white or pale wood.
