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.

The Melted Sole, in Shadow
The BAKER is the house deck shoe set on its signature sculpted sole, which looks as though it was shaped by hand from warm rubber. In all black the strangeness turns quiet: a plain sneaker from across the room, an object of craft at arm's length.
Best for: Wearers of understated Japanese designer sneakers

A low top sneaker from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, the BAKER, reference A16FW704: black canvas upper on the black, hand-sculpted Original Sole, laced with oversized flat laces. EU 43, with box and dust bag.
The Piece
The sole leads. The house Original Sole is moulded to look as if it had been shaped by hand from melting rubber, its sidewall rippled and uneven, the toe cap swelling over the front, and the tread worn in a faintly translucent smoke tone. In all black, the sculpting reads as shadow rather than colour, so the shoe looks quiet at a distance and strange up close.
The upper is a clean black canvas, cut on the lines of a classic deck shoe with a padded collar and five pairs of eyelets. Wide, soft laces are tied in a loose oversized bow. A small woven MMY tab sits on the outer quarter, and MMY is moulded into each heel.
The reference and size are printed inside the tongue, and the shoe comes with its white Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO box and a black dust bag.
