A guide for this piece: about $59, 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 Jumper That Arrives Undone
Mihara Yasuhiro treats damage as a kind of drawing. Here the lines are holes and dropped stitches, scattered over a sand-coloured cotton knit until the hem gives way to loose loops. It wears like a favourite jumper twenty years on, without the twenty years.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer distressed knitwear
Condition notes

A distressed cotton jumper from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A12HD541: a sand beige knit opened by holes, ladders and frayed rib edges across the body and sleeves. Size 44 per label.
The Piece
The front carries the story. A wide break opens across the left side seam, smaller holes scatter over the chest and shoulders, and the hem dissolves into loose loops and hanging threads. The damage is part of the design: Mihara Yasuhiro builds this kind of piece to look as though it has already lived a long, hard life, and no two are quite alike.
The cut is generous, with a dropped shoulder, a wide body and long sleeves that end in the same frayed rib. The yarn is a fairly fine cotton in a warm sand tone with a faded, washed depth, light enough to wear over a T-shirt through spring and autumn. A small woven tab sits low on the front hem.
The back mirrors the front with a quieter scatter of breaks, and the neck carries the large Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO woven label.
