A guide for this piece: about $277, 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.

Tan Tan Bo Multiverse, a 2023 Takashi Murakami poster published by Kaikai Kiki in an edition of 300, printed in four colours with foil and varnish, still sealed in its carton with the original invoice.
The Piece
Tan Tan Bo is one of the oldest characters in Murakami’s cast, the many-eyed figure he has redrawn since the 1990s, and in this composition he stands at the centre of a pink field crowded with smiling flowers, skulls and small creatures. Kaikai Kiki, the studio Murakami founded in Tokyo, produces these numbered posters with the same care as its prints, layering offset colour, foil and a coated varnish.
The sheet measures 68 x 68 cm (26.8 x 26.8 in) and carries the 2023 copyright line of Takashi Murakami and Kaikai Kiki. It has never been opened from its flat shipping carton, which still holds the original delivery invoice in its sleeve.
Unopened examples with their paperwork are the ones Murakami collectors keep, and at 300 the run is small.
