A guide for this piece: about $46, 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 black canvas low-top from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A01FW702, with ecru laces, rubber toe caps and the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 41.
The Piece
The silhouette is the classic canvas court shoe everyone knows: black cotton canvas, white contrast stitching, a rubber toe cap and long ecru laces through metal eyelets. The house rebuilds it so the familiar outline sits on a sole that seems to have melted slightly and set again.
That sole is the Original Sole, sculpted by hand so its white sidewalls bulge, ripple and thicken unevenly around the foot, with a moulded MMY plaque at each heel. The brown outsoles carry a diamond tread.
The house sole in its truest, most everyday form.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the sculpted sole, the moulded heel plaques and the printed reference and size inside the tongue are all shown among the frames. Brush dust from the canvas and sole ridges with a soft dry brush, wipe the toe caps with a damp cloth, and let the pair dry naturally away from direct heat.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
