A guide for this piece: about $19, 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.

Five A5 notebooks, each wrapped in a different burst of KAWS colour: close crops of his paintings, where Companion eyes, gloves and outlines dissolve into hard-edged abstraction.
The Piece
Alongside his sculptures and toys, KAWS, the New York artist Brian Donnelly, paints large canvases that zoom in on his cartoon characters until only fragments remain: a crossed-out eye, the curve of a glove, a black outline on a field of electric colour. These covers borrow that language, so the set reads as a little exhibition you can carry.
The covers range from black and white to full spectrum, with reds, blues, greens and yellows packed edge to edge, and the five books are held by a black paper band printed with the KAWS name. The pages inside are plain, ready for sketches or notes, though many collectors keep a set like this unused.
The set is described as bought at a sculpture museum in the United Kingdom, new and opened once only to check the contents.
