A guide for this piece: about $43, 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.

A first printing of The Birth of Rockin' Jelly Bean, the 2014 Wani Magazine monograph, ordered on publication and never opened, still sealed in its shrink wrap.
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 runs and are collected as eagerly abroad as at home.
The Birth of Rockin' Jelly Bean is his large-format monograph, published by Wani Magazine in April 2014: 239 pages and 32 cm (12.6 in) tall, gathering two decades of his posters, record sleeves and paintings.
This copy is from the first printing of 7 April 2014; a second followed that August, and no further printing is planned. It was ordered on publication and has stayed sealed ever since, so the devil-girl cover and the heart-shaped pin-up on the back are as fresh as the day it left the press. The book comes alone, without the delivery note or postcard.
