A guide for this piece: about $342, 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.

Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

Two skateboard decks carrying drawings by Yoshitomo Nara, issued with the Museum of Modern Art and kept in their shrink wrap. One is red, one white, and together they show the two tempers of his girls: defiance and welcome.
The Piece
On the red deck, known as Solid Fist, a girl in a pale smock stands on a skull and crossbones with one arm raised. On the white deck, Welcome Girl, a red-haired figure in a torn green dress and brown boots kicks one heel back, half smiling. Each graphic side is printed with the artist's copyright line.
The undersides are natural wood with the museum's wordmark. The pair is described as unused and comes with a wall mount for display.
