A guide for this piece: about $42, 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 A09FW734, in black cotton canvas set on the cream hand-sculpted Original Sole, laced in thick white cotton. Marked EU 41 and supplied with the maker's box.
The Piece
The silhouette begins as the familiar canvas court shoe: black cotton canvas with tonal white topstitching, silver eyelets, a rubber toe cap and generous flat laces. The collar and tongue edges are left raw, so they soften and fray with wear, and a woven MMY label sits at the tongue.
Below it the Original Sole does the talking. Shaped by hand rather than cut from a mould, the cream rubber swells, ripples and slumps around the foot as if it had begun to melt, so that no two pairs share exactly the same profile. Against black canvas the effect is at its most graphic.
A quiet upper and a sole that refuses to sit still.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch, including the sculpted sole and the printed reference inside the shoe. Brush the canvas dry, wipe the rubber with a soft damp cloth, and let the pair dry naturally away from direct heat.
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.
