A guide for this piece: about $846, 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 Girl Who Grew a Forest
Mori Girl takes one of Nara's gentlest ideas, a child at home in nature, and makes it sculptural. The carved tree crown is the drama; the face stays quiet and composed. Complete with plaque and boxes, it is the kind of edition object collectors keep whole.
Best for: Collectors of Yoshitomo Nara edition objects

A girl whose hair rises into the layered green crown of a fir tree, her round face calm beneath it: Yoshitomo Nara's Mori Girl, the forest girl, issued in 2012 in an edition of 200 for worldwide distribution.
The Piece
Nara has drawn children with leaves, hoods and animal ears for decades, and Mori Girl gives that habit a body. The head is a carved, tiered tree of greens shading from lime to olive, the face is smooth and pale with Nara's scribbled dark eyes and a small red mouth, and a white ruffled collar sits above a long green body with a hand-carved texture. The page states the edition was produced with how2work.
The set arrives complete, as described: the figure resting in its fitted foam case with a protective tissue still over the crown, an engraved wooden plaque certifying the edition of 200 with a printed signature, an inner grey box titled Mori Girl Limited Edition 200PCS, and the kraft outer carton printed with Nara's own drawing of the girl.
