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.

A reversible souvenir jacket from Kenzo Paris: black, embroidered with roses and a map of France on one face, and white satin with tigers and a map of Japan on the other, with green sleeves. Two jackets in one, with its wear recorded below.
The Piece
The souvenir jacket began as a Japanese keepsake, embroidered with a tiger or a dragon and a view of the place it came from, and Kenzo, founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, has spent its history carrying one culture into the other. This jacket does so literally, one side for each country.
The black side is a wool with a soft, matte surface. Two red roses with green leaves are embroidered on the chest, and on the back the embroidery draws France in colour: the Eiffel Tower, a windmill, mountains and a looping line of script. The reverse is a pale, lustrous satin with green raglan sleeves, a pair of tigers at the chest, and on the back a dragon, a mountain and the outline of Japan above the word Japan in red.
The collar, cuffs and hem are ribbed in cream and black on the dark side and cream and green on the light side, and a centre zip closes the front. Two welt pockets are cut into each face. Worn either way, it reads as the work of a house with a foot in each place.
