A guide for this piece: about $32, 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.

The Switchblade Surfers 2nd, a silkscreen poster by Rockin' Jelly Bean for his Erostika label, signed and numbered by hand in an edition of 100, new and never hung, with a flyer and postcards.
The Piece
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Japanese painter behind the Erostika label, whose pin-up heroines, hot rods and masked wrestlers borrow the language of 1960s exploitation posters and garage-rock flyers. His silkscreens are pulled in small signed runs and are collected as eagerly abroad as at home.
Here a grinning blonde in a bikini and flower lei fills the tall sheet, a row of surfers with knives on the beach behind her and the title spelled out in dripping orange letters at the foot. The colours are laid down in flat, saturated passes of orange, red, yellow and black, the way his screen prints are always made.
The poster measures about 90 x 47 cm (35.4 x 18.5 in), carries the catalogue number SBSP-02, and comes rolled in its tube as it was first sent out, together with a flyer and a set of postcards.

Authenticity & Care
Every piece is checked by hand in Tokyo before it leaves us. Unroll a silkscreen slowly at room temperature, flatten it under clean boards rather than tape, and frame it behind UV-filtering glazing away from direct sun.
Delivery from Japan
Packed flat by hand in Japan between rigid boards, then shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally.
