Prices
The price for the 'Beauties' prints is 12,500 yen each
(currently around US $110). This is just about double the
price of my Surimono Album prints; these are larger and considerably
more time consuming and expensive to produce. If it is any 'consolation'
to subscribers who are following on from my Surimono Albums, these
prints will be sent out at approximately two-month intervals, and with
only four in the set, the total cost will be less than for one
of the Surimono Albums ...
I must also charge for overseas shipping (by Air
Express), so the actual subscription price varies depending on
where you live. Collectors in Japan must also pay Consumption Tax
(collectors overseas are exempt). These are the prices with shipping added:
Domestic (Japan):
12,500 yen + 625 (tax) + 900 (shipping) = 14,025 per print
Asia:
12,500 yen + 1,000 (shipping) = 13,500 per print
North America, Oceania:
12,500 yen + 1,200 (shipping) = 13,700 per print
Europe:
12,500 yen + 1,500 (shipping) = 14,000 per print
South America, Africa:
12,500 yen + 1,700 (shipping) = 14,200 per print
At recent exchange rates, that means that each print (with
shipping) will be around $125 for a US collector, about
£70 for one in England, and just over €105 for a European collector.
Payment
Subscribers here in Japan (where I live) usually find it
most convenient to make payment through the postal system, and
for them I include a postal remittance slip with each print,
with which they make payment after receiving each shipment.
Overseas subscribers may make remittance in whichever currency
is most convenient; if paying in yen the amount will remain the same
every month, if paying in dollars or euros, your cost will fluctuate
slightly as the rates change each month ... One of the
following methods will hopefully be convenient for you:
- Credit card
- I have a US$ account in a North American bank, into which
deposits may be made by:
- mailing your personal cheque
(I enclose an empty pre-addressed
envelope for this)
- using internet banking if you have such
ability.
- If you are a Paypal user, you can send payment
that way. This is particularly convenient, because
Paypal now allows you to make payments in either
dollars or yen, as you choose.
- Remittance may be made by International

More Information / Place Order
If you would like more information, or wish to start a subscription, please use the appropriate section of my Order Form.
Alternatively, if you are a Skype user, you can give me a call with your questions, or to place an order. Check my webcam first to see if I am perhaps busy with printing - if the camera is off and the coast seems clear, give me a 'ring' on woodblock100, my Skype ID. (Do I need to remind you that I am in Tokyo? ... so check your time zones first!)
