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.

A low sneaker from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A10FW718: a smoke grey upper with a fine scaled texture, broad black laces, and the hand-sculpted Original Sole coated in black, so the whole shoe reads in shades of charcoal. Size EU 41.
The Piece
The texture leads. Across the vamp and quarters the grey upper is worked in a close scaled pattern, like a reptile skin rendered in cloth, so the light catches it in small facets. Broad black laces, as wide as ribbon, tie over a padded tongue, and the house's small red and white tab sits at the side.
Beneath is the signature: the Original Sole, modelled to look like a vulcanised sole that has melted and been rebuilt by hand, here finished in black so its slumped, wavering profile reads as a single dark line. MMY is moulded into each heel.
A tonal take on the melted sole: quieter than the studded pairs, and easier to wear every day.
