A guide for this piece: about $40, 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 Yohji Yamamoto silk tie printed with Mighty Atom and the onomatopoeia BOOOOM, in orange and yellow.
The Piece
Yamamoto's collaboration with Tezuka Productions put manga sound effects and the boy robot onto his menswear, here as a bright print running down the blade of a silk tie.
Length 140 cm, blade 9 cm. Light signs of use, graded B.
Mighty Atom by Yohji Yamamoto
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
Yohji Yamamoto's collaboration with Tezuka Productions printed Atom and manga sound effects onto menswear, and this silk tie carries the print down its 9 cm blade. More from the house is on the Yohji Yamamoto shelf, and more Tezuka pieces wait on the anime and character shelf.
