A guide for this piece: about $382, 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 complete Kodansha collected edition of Osamu Tezuka's manga: all four hundred volumes, each a first printing.
The Piece
The set fills several shelves of uniform white-spined paperbacks and gathers Phoenix, Black Jack, Astro Boy, Unico, Kimba the White Lion and hundreds of other works. The text is in Japanese throughout.
Complete runs are uncommon, and a run made up wholly of first printings is rarer still. Because of its weight the set travels as freight, and the shipping charge is quoted and agreed before purchase.
A Life in Four Hundred Books
Osamu Tezuka (1928 to 1989) drew more than one hundred and fifty thousand pages and shaped the grammar of modern manga. Kodansha began this edition in 1977 and completed it after his death; it remains the standard collected edition of his work.
