A guide for this piece: about $372, 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 real two dollar bill overprinted with the girl and her balloon and cut into strips along one side, by the artist Rency, from an edition 300.
The Piece
The child reaches from the left of the note towards a red heart shaped balloon, printed over the engraved portrait, with a lettered phrase running up the right edge. The lower part of the note has been sliced into ribbons in the manner of the famous shredded painting. It is held in a clear rigid sleeve and signed on the reverse, as shown.
It is new. This is a tribute by another hand and is not a work by the painter of the original image.
Money as Canvas
Altered banknotes have a long history in protest art. After a famous painting of a girl and a balloon partly passed through a shredder hidden in its frame in 2018, the image was reprinted on currency by several hands as a comment on money and art.
