A guide for this piece: about $62, 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 Work Boot on Cast Stone
A plain black lace-up made remarkable by what it stands on: a deep cleated sole flecked like terrazzo. The inner zip makes it an everyday boot rather than a project.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer boots with sculptural soles

A lace-up ankle boot from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference S14FW706: matte black leather on a deep lug sole of black rubber flecked with cream, with a zip at the inner side. Labelled EU 41.
The Piece
The side profile leads. The sole is the event: a tall, deeply cleated base in black rubber scattered with cream flecks, its edges rounded and slightly irregular so that it reads almost as cast stone. Above it the upper is plain and workmanlike, a matte black leather with a smooth toe, stitched quarters and a straight shaft.
Black waxed laces run through the front, and a zip at the inner side makes the boot easy to pull on and off. Inside, the lining is tan leather throughout, the reference and size are printed at the shaft, and a sewn tag carries a short English note on the maker's environmental and social intentions.
Mihara Yasuhiro trained in shoemaking before he built a full collection, and his boots still begin with the sole: a familiar work boot shape carried on a base with real presence.
