A guide for this piece: about $83, 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.

The monster in Hokusai's wave
Two of Japan's most exported images meet on one back: the wave the world knows from a woodblock, and the monster it knows from the cinema. The embroidery treats them as equals, which is the joke and the triumph of the piece.
Best for: Godzilla collectors and lovers of ukiyo-e motifs on souvenir jackets

Hokusai's Great Wave rises on the left, Godzilla answers on the right, and Mount Fuji sits small between them: an official Toho souvenir jacket in royal blue and silver satin, size XL, new with its tag.
The Piece
The back is one continuous embroidered scene. The wave curls in layered navy, sky blue and white thread, its foam breaking into claw-like fingers exactly as Hokusai drew it around 1831 for Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Where the print shows fishing boats, Godzilla stands waist-deep in the surf, scales worked in dense charcoal and silver stitch, dorsal plates flaring white, mouth open in red. Tiny figures tumble through the spray, a gold ray strikes the water, and a small vertical cartouche at the left gives the scene its title. GODZILLA is lettered in silver across the yoke.
The front carries an embroidered Godzilla head on the left chest. Raglan sleeves are silver satin, and collar, cuffs and hem are rib knitted in blue and white stripes. The jacket reverses to plain royal blue satin, with two hand pockets on each face, four in all.
