How to Buy from Overseas
Price
Every work is sold at the same tax-inclusive price, wherever you are. Payment is in Japanese yen (JPY); your card issuer converts it to your currency.
Shipping
Shipping is calculated automatically at checkout once you enter your address. Original works are sent by EMS (tracked); posters and postcards by tracked airmail small packet, or EMS for larger orders. You can also check the estimate on each artwork page.
Orders placed between 30 October and 23 November 2026 will ship from 24 November.
Customs declaration
We declare the actual sale price on every shipment. Original works are declared as "Original hand-painted artwork" (HS code 9701); posters and postcards as printed matter. We are unable to mark purchases as gifts or declare a lower value.
Import duties and taxes
Any import duties or taxes are charged by your country's customs and paid by the recipient on delivery. Original paintings (HS 9701) are duty-free in many countries; what usually applies is import VAT/GST. Typical rates for original artworks:
