A guide for this piece: about $151, 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 Face Between Here and Gone
Ida builds a likeness and then drags it apart, so Bob seems to arrive and vanish at once. The poster keeps the push and pull of the brush.
Best for: Collectors following Yukimasa Ida who want his portrait painting at an accessible scale

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 portrait poster of Bob, 2015, by Yukimasa Ida, issued by his studio in 2020. Offset on paper at B1 size, 103 x 72.8 cm, with the title and signature printed in silver foil. New and unused; sold without a frame.
The Piece
Ida paints faces in thick, fast impasto, building a likeness and then dragging the paint across it until the sitter seems to flicker between presence and erasure. Bob is a bearded man seen frontally, his features knotted in ochre, rose and black, the head smeared sideways by grey strokes, with a single crimson mark at upper right like a wound or a flower.
This poster was made to reproduce the colour, brushwork and texture of the oil as closely as print allows, the page says. Below the image, Bob, 2015 and IDA STUDIO are set in silver foil at left, with a silver foil signature at right; the close photographs show both. It is a printed signature, part of the poster design, not a hand signature.
