A guide for this piece: about $50, 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.

Cowboy Boot Ornament on a Melted Sole
Olive suede cut with the scrolled overlays and cream stitching of a western boot, laid over a low top whose hand-carved sole slumps like softened wax, so two American archetypes meet in one Japanese sculpture.
Best for: Collectors of the Original Sole and western-inflected Japanese designer footwear

Western detail low-top sneakers from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A15FW734: olive green suede dressed in scrolled overlays and cream stitching, set on the house's sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
The base is a simple lace-up low top in soft olive suede, but the upper borrows its ornament from the cowboy boot. Shaped suede overlays curl along the toe, the quarters and the heel counter, each traced in cream topstitching in the manner of a western boot shaft, while a small woven MMY tab sits on the outer side.
Beneath it runs the Original Sole, cast from a hand-carved model so that its off-white walls sag and ripple like softened wax; the heel is moulded with the MMY mark. The result sets two American archetypes, the court shoe and the cowboy boot, against one another and lets the sole melt them together.
