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.

The Peterson 23 low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A11FW702, in black cotton canvas with a black rubber toe cap, frayed raw edges and the hand-sculpted Original Sole in black. Marked EU 43.
The Piece
The Peterson takes the familiar basketball low, toe cap and all, and lets it come undone. Raw canvas edges fray around the collar and the eyestays, and the sole beneath swells and ripples like poured rubber that has slumped before setting. In black on black the effect is graphic and a little menacing: a silhouette everyone knows, made strange by its outline.
This pair has been properly worn. The canvas has softened, the sole carries scuffs, and the heel lining is torn, all of which sits naturally with a design built on the look of age. The rubber tread underneath shows the house mark at the waist.
Black, frayed and fully broken in.
