A guide for this piece: about $170, 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 shaped wooden relief painted in acrylic by Masato Yamaguchi of Backside Works for X-girl in 2022, from an edition stated as five.
The Piece
A girl with a blunt black fringe and pink headphones is cut out along her own silhouette, so the object stands like a figure and hangs like a painting. Her hair is drawn in fine vertical strokes, her hand rests at her chin, and the X-girl script runs across a black top in hot pink. The board is about 4.5 cm deep with a recessed back.
It measures 42 by 28.5 by 4.5 cm. The reverse carries the signature and edition details, and it comes with its yellow storage bag and carton.
Backside Works and X-girl
X-girl, founded in 1994 by Kim Gordon and Daisy von Furth, has long invited artists into its world. Yamaguchi answered with a small group of cut out portraits that carry his animation inflected heroines off the canvas and into three dimensions.
