A guide for this piece: about $101, 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 pair of Rockin' Jelly Bean skateboard decks released through Erostika, Takigyo and Roller Girl GT, both new, unridden and still in their original shrink wrap.
The Piece
Takigyo takes its name from the ascetic practice of meditating beneath a waterfall, and Rockin' Jelly Bean turns it into a pin-up of glistening skin and rushing water in warm amber and gold. Roller Girl GT answers it in red and black: a roller girl in heavy-framed glasses blowing a pink bubble, looking back over her shoulder.
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Tokyo illustrator behind the Erostika label, celebrated for psychedelic pin-up girls, hot rods and B-movie monsters drawn with the flat, saturated colour of American lowbrow and garage poster art. His decks are made as wall pieces as much as boards, and a matched pair, never mounted or ridden, makes a ready-made diptych.
This work carries nude or erotic imagery and is kept in our adults-only rooms; further views are available on request to adult collectors.

Authenticity & Care
Every Rockin' Jelly Bean piece we hold is checked by our curators in Tokyo before it leaves Japan. A deck kept for display is best stored flat or wall-mounted away from direct sunlight, which fades printed graphics over time.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and 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 you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
