A guide for this piece: about $593, 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.

Gold, silver and a grin
Murakami's panda rides a ball of smiling flowers while his cubs swarm around him. The gold and silver foil ground turns the disc into something close to a decorative mirror. Signed, round and unframed, it is a celebratory piece from one of his most popular series.

Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

Panda, Panda Cubs, and Flowerball of 2019: one of Takashi Murakami's round prints, offset on a disc of paper some 71 cm across and finished with cold-stamp foil, offered as hand-signed from an edition of 300. Kept flat and unframed since it was acquired, and unused.
The Piece
The panda is one of the most loved characters in Murakami's cast. Here he sits astride a flowerball, a sphere packed with smiling flowers, grinning with rainbow teeth, while tiny cubs clamber over him and peer in from the edge of the circle.
This is the gold-ground companion to the silver Panda with Panda Cubs of the same year. Behind the figures the whole disc is laid with a checkerboard of gold and silver foil, patterned with tiny flowers, so the print shifts and glints as you move past it.
The round format recalls the circular mirrors and fans of Japanese decorative art, and the hard, even Superflat line keeps it legible from across a room.
