A guide for this piece: about $594, 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 House That Grew a Head
Nara turns the cottage into a body and the roof into a dream of colour. The ukiyo-e technique ties his child to the woodblock prints of Edo Japan. Collectors of the 2014 suite prize Mushroom House for its tallest, most joyful silhouette.
Best for: Nara collectors building the 2014 woodcut suite

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.

A sleepy-eyed child in a tower of coloured caps rises from a little white house, Mount Fuji small on the horizon: Mushroom House, a 2014 Yoshitomo Nara woodcut.
The Piece
Scalloped layers of yellow, pink, sky blue, green, rust and brown stack into one tall head-dress, as if the child had grown from the cottage like a mushroom after rain. Printed from carved blocks, the colours carry a faint woodgrain.
A gallery label from Blum & Poe on the backing board, shown in the photographs, names the sheet as Mushroom House, one of four parts of the 2014 ukiyo-e woodcut suite Mushroom House, Tell Me, Hope So, and Stay Good, in an edition of 25. This is the Mushroom House sheet alone. It is offered as hand-signed and dated by the artist; the date 14 is visible at the lower right of the image.
It hangs in pale wood with a white mat.
