A guide for this piece: about $45, 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.

Spring Pictures in Ink
WACKO MARIA prints the spring pictures of the Edo period as if photocopied from an album: lovers, courtesans, screens and inscribed pages layered in black, grey and white, with flashes of pink, yellow and orange where the original colour survives. A shirt for adults that wears its art history openly.
Best for: Collectors of WACKO MARIA and of ukiyo-e in contemporary dress

A WACKO MARIA Guilty Parties aloha shirt in rayon, printed all over with a collage of Edo-period shunga rendered in black, grey and white and touched with pink, yellow and orange. It is a size L, made in Japan, and is offered to adult collectors only.
The Piece
Shunga, the spring pictures of the floating world, were drawn by the leading print designers of the Edo period and kept in albums for private enjoyment: lovers, courtesans and their visitors, framed by folding screens, lanterns and pages of flowing inscription. WACKO MARIA layers fragments of these images across the whole shirt, as if pages had been photocopied and pasted edge to edge, and lets only a few accents keep their colour: a pink robe, a yellow ground, an orange lantern.
The cut is the house open collar aloha shirt with short sleeves, a straight hem, a chest pocket matched to the print and wooden-toned buttons. The Guilty Parties woven label sits at the neck and the care label reads There Is Always Sunshine In My Heart.

Authenticity & Care
Offered as a WACKO MARIA Guilty Parties shirt; the woven neck label and the care label appear in the photographs. The print is explicit, which is why the piece is shown only in our private gallery for adults. Dry clean, as the care label advises, and press with a cloth.
Delivery from Japan
The shirt is folded by hand in Japan, wrapped in plain tissue inside a discreet carton, and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
