A guide for this piece: about $222, 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 black velveteen souvenir jacket from Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke, with the Shishigami standing among trees across the back above the words Gods in the Deep Forest, 1997, and white wolves embroidered down the sleeves. Size L, new with its original tag, from the early release.
The Piece
The souvenir jacket, born in postwar Japan, is a garment made to carry a picture, and this one carries the forest of Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 film. On the back the Shishigami, the deer god, stands pale and antlered among green trees beneath the lettering princess Mononoke, with Gods in the Deep Forest and the year 1997 embroidered below.
The front is quieter and more fierce. Two white wolf heads with red-lined mouths face one another at the chest, and the wolves run down both sleeves in grey, white and russet thread. The body is soft black velveteen, finished with a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem striped in gold, a centre zip, and a lining of dusty pink that appears as the jacket is opened.
The hang tag gives the size as L, for a height of 175 to 185 cm and a chest of 96 to 104 cm. The maker's published chart for size L lists a body length of 65 cm (25.6 in), a body width of 57 cm (22.4 in) and a collar-to-cuff length of 86 cm (33.9 in). These are the maker's figures, not our own, and the maker notes a variance of 1 to 2 cm between pieces.

Authenticity & Care
The licensed hang tag, with its item number and Studio Ghibli copyright line, and the sewn-in composition label are both present and photographed. The tag asks that the belt, bag straps and rough surfaces be kept from rubbing the embroidery, and that the jacket be protected from water, damp and strong light. Dry cleaning by a specialist is the gentlest course.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo and shipped from Japan, insured and tracked, by EMS or an equivalent express service, arranged by our Tokyo, Japan concierge team. 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.
