A guide for this piece: about $290, 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.

The standard catalogue of Yoshitomo Nara's work from 1984 to 2010: two large volumes, housed in their printed slipcase.
The Piece
Volume one gathers the paintings, sculptures, editions and photographs; volume two is given to the works on paper, both arranged in chronological order. Together they record some five thousand works, with essays by Banana Yoshimoto, Takashi Murakami, Hiroshi Sugito and Nara himself, a study by Midori Matsui, and a full chronology.
The set was issued by Bijutsu Shuppan-sha in Tokyo, with the publisher's mark on the slipcase spine. The two volumes sit in the original slipcase, one face printed with a closed-eyed girl in auburn hair, the other with a child in a pale cap. This is the two-volume catalogue alone, in its slipcase.
Yoshitomo Nara
Nara studied in Aichi and then for a decade in Germany, and returned to Japan in 2000 already known for his solitary children and their sidelong stare. This catalogue, covering the twenty-six years to 2010, is the reference most collectors and libraries use to date and identify the paintings, drawings and editions from that period.
