A guide for this piece: about $1,175, 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 Flower Bomber cast in bronze, about 36 cm high, issued by Medicom Toy with Brandalism in April 2020 and kept in a display case.
The Piece
The masked figure is caught at the top of his throw, weight on the back foot and a bunch of flowers in the raised hand, modelled fully in the round. The metal has a warm brown patina with brighter highlights on the cap, sleeves and knees. It was opened and displayed behind glass, and the box is included.
Bronze gives the figure a weight and permanence the resin versions do not have, and the second issue was made in limited numbers for release from the United Kingdom.
From Wall to Shelf
The statue is modelled after the mural of 2003 near Bethlehem in which a rioter hurls flowers instead of a stone. Medicom Toy of Tokyo produces the figure with Brandalism, which issues objects after the street images without the involvement of the artist. It is a design object inspired by a famous picture, not a work by its painter.
