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-top canvas sneaker from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO in black, with raw frayed edges, a grey panel set into the side and a white rubber toe cap, mounted on the sculpted Original Sole. Size EU 42.
The Piece
The pattern begins with the familiar vulcanised court shoe and then unpicks it. Black cotton canvas is cut with raw edges left to fray at the collar, the tongue and the eyelet row, so loose threads frame the shoe like a sketch still being drawn. A panel of smooth grey cloth is stitched across the outer quarter, with cream topstitching left in view.
Underneath sits the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Its white rubber wall swells and dips as though modelled in clay, rising into a rounded toe cap. Oversized cream laces complete the proportions.
A plain classic, slightly undone, on a sole that looks remade by hand.
