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.

Black Canvas, Soft Heel
The Peterson23 keeps the court-shoe outline and lets the sole do the talking: a white rubber base that seems to have melted at the edges, embossed MMY at the heel.
Best for: Collectors of Original Sole sneakers in smaller sizes
Condition notes
Light use: greying and marks on the white sole sidewalls and toe caps, even wear on the tread. No conspicuous damage; canvas sound.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade

The Peterson23 from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A11FW702: a low top in black cotton canvas with a white rubber toe cap, wide flat laces and the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 40.
The Piece
The Peterson is the house answer to the canvas court shoe, rebuilt so that it looks half melted and pressed back by hand. This later version keeps the plainest dress: black canvas with contrast white stitching, nickel eyelets and a rounded white toe cap, laced with broad cotton laces that sit proud of the vamp.
Below, the Original Sole swells and folds along its length like wax softened in the sun, finished in white with a fine black foxing line. At the back, MMY is embossed into the rubber of each heel, and the canvas lining is stamped with the reference and size.
Plain canvas above, sculpture below.

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.
