A guide for this piece: about $54, 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.

Black Left Out in the Sun
A single colour worked over until it reads like an old photograph: black cloth pressed to a satin sheen, then faded to smoke at every edge. The house treatment of time as a material, applied to the simplest summer form.

Shorts from the Spring Summer 2025 collection of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference J16PT142, titled Sun Faded Like Satin: a cotton and rayon cloth with a satin-like lustre, faded from black to a smoky grey as if left in the sun. Tagged 50 and made in Japan.
The Piece
The surface leads. The cloth is pressed and creased so that it catches light like worn satin, and a deliberate sun fade lifts the black to grey across the seat, the thighs and the hems, darkest at the waist and in the folds. It is the house treatment at its most painterly: a garment that arrives already looking lived in.
The cut is relaxed and wide, finished just above the knee. An elastic waistband with a black drawcord sits over a zip fly, with slant side pockets, two welt pockets at the back and the house signature tag at the front. The white Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO label sits inside at the back waist, and the maker swing tags are still attached.
