A guide for this piece: about $535, 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.

Two jackets in one zip
A maiko in spring on one face and a storm dragon on the other. The embroidery is dense on both sides, so neither reads as the lining of the other.

A reversible ska jumper from MONONOKE MADE in size M, described as new, unworn and never tried on, with its paper tag attached. One face is quilted pink cotton with cream sleeves; the other is black velvet embroidered with a dragon.
The Piece
On the pink side, a maiko in a blue kimono stands beneath the word JAPAN across the back, with cherry blossom scattered over the diamond quilting. The chest carries two small wind and thunder gods, and the ribbing is striped in green and white.
Turned through, the jacket becomes black velvet. A pale dragon coils through lightning under the Mononoke script on the back, two melting skulls sit on the chest, and a second dragon runs down each sleeve.

Authenticity & Care
Described as bought new from an authorised store by its first owner. The labels and maker's marks appear in the photographs. The Desk has not yet handled the piece, and a team of curators checks every detail in Japan before dispatch. Dry clean only with a specialist, and store on a padded hanger away from sunlight so the embroidery keeps its lustre.
Delivery from Japan
The jacket is packed by hand in Japan, folded in tissue inside a sturdy carton. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
