A guide for this piece: about $65, 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.

Godzilla as a Kyoto postcard
The souvenir jacket began as a postcard in thread, a view of Japan to take home. This one keeps the view and lets two monsters walk into it. The 1954 side is the plainer statement, line embroidery on black.
Best for: Wearers who want an oversized licensed sukajan

An officially licensed Godzilla sukajan in heavy rayon, reversible, with a Kyoto souvenir scene on the brown and ivory side and the original 1954 monster on the black.
The Piece
The two faces of this jacket are deliberately unlike each other. One is drawn in the old souvenir manner: the word Kyoto in script across the shoulders, a setting sun, a pagoda and townscape, a maiko in the foreground, and Godzilla with King Ghidorah worked into the view as if they had always belonged there. The body is brown with ivory sleeves and striped ribbing.
The other face is black with bronze sleeves and belongs to the first film. Godzilla stands over a city skyline in fine line embroidery beside the title, with the date 1954 at the chest. The cloth is rayon, not satin, with more weight and a softer fall, and the cut is large, which suits either sex worn loose.
