A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 low-top from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A09FW733: black cotton canvas with white contrast stitching, a rounded rubber toe cap and the sculpted Original Sole, both mellowed with wear to a warm ivory. Marked EU 42.
The Piece
This is the house's take on the classic court shoe, cut low and lean. Black canvas is outlined in white stitching along every panel, wide flat laces knot across the vamp, and a rounded toe cap caps the front in pale rubber. Woven MMY tabs sit at the tongues.
Underneath, the Original Sole is cast from a hand-carved model, so its walls sag and ripple like softened wax. On this pair the rubber has taken on an aged, buttery tone and the toe caps carry honest scuffs, which gives the shoe the lived-in look the house so often builds in from the start. The outsole carries a deep diamond tread.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the inner reference print A09FW733 with size 42 is shown. Brush the canvas dry, wipe the rubber gently with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and store the pair away from strong sunlight.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
