A guide for this piece: about $15, 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 navy blazer from Kenzo Paris, cut asymmetrically and set with panels of abstract striped fabric in blue, grey and cream. Tailoring treated as a canvas, with its condition recorded below.
The Piece
Kenzo Paris carries forward the house founded in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and its tailoring has always allowed pattern into places where convention keeps it out. Here the pattern arrives as patchwork: bands of abstract striped print are set across one side of the body, the lapel and the sleeve, while the other side remains plain navy.
The result is a jacket in two minds. The notched lapel, two front buttons, flap pocket and double cuff buttons are those of a conventional blazer; the print panels, which include the welt of the pocket and a small panel at the back of the sleeve, turn it into something closer to a collage. Inside, the lining is a deeper blue woven with scattered lettering, and a patterned tape finishes the pocket edges.
The woven label inside reads Kenzo Paris, Collection Fit, which describes a close and structured silhouette. It is a blazer that works as the single statement of an outfit, worn over a plain shirt or a simple knit.
