A guide for this piece: about $28, 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.

Keiichi Tanaami’s “Adventures in Memory” T-shirt, printed edge to edge across the front with a WHAM! composition and with a second full print on the back. Size L, cotton, new and unworn.
The Piece
Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024) was a founding figure of Japanese pop art: a Tokyo graphic designer who brought psychedelic collage, animation and comic-book colour into fine art from the 1960s, and the first art director of the Japanese edition of Playboy. His imagery of goldfish, pine trees, searchlights and hybrid creatures grew from childhood memories of wartime Tokyo, and his late career brought major museum shows and a run of celebrated fashion collaborations.
“Adventures in Memory” was the title of his 2024 retrospective at the National Art Center, Tokyo. The front is a blaze of yellow searchlights and comic-book lettering, a grinning skull and swirling creatures; the back turns to a crowded scene of figures in pink, orange and blue. The black sleeves and hem frame the print like a canvas.
Shoulder 57 cm (22.4 in); chest 59 cm (23.2 in); length 71 cm (28 in); sleeve 20 cm (7.9 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.
