A guide for this piece: about $44, 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.

The Piece
The denim is a deep indigo worked with strong whiskers, sanded thighs and honeycombs behind the knee.

The leg opens gently from the knee.
Waist width 44 cm, rise 27 cm, inseam 80 cm, total length 102 cm, thigh 26 cm, hem 22 cm. Measured flat.
