A guide for this piece: about $53, 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.

A fine bone china plate carrying Women Wait for Love but Men Always Walk Away, a late painting by Yayoi Kusama, produced by Third Drawer Down and offered new.
The Piece
Rows of white profiles march across a red ground between dotted bands, around a single black sun, the composition carried right to the rim so the plate reads as a round painting. The glaze is bright and even. The reverse is printed with the title, the details of the original canvas and the maker's mark.
Diameter 26 cm. It comes with its round presentation box.
My Eternal Soul
From 2009 Kusama worked daily on the square canvases of My Eternal Soul, a torrent of faces, eyes and cells in unmixed colour that filled her museum shows of the following decade. Third Drawer Down, the Melbourne studio, translated a group of them into china with her studio's approval.
