Kenji Hoshi 🇯🇵 Painting • Show News • Art For Sale

[Dive Jedi]

In order not to clutter the latest art buy thread I've created this new thread for Kenji Hoshi.
Plenty of members like the work, so would be good to give him his own space.

Lovely chap to deal with. Excellent packaging.
Painting looks more vibrant then in photographs for sure.

For people who may have bought these recently, how long have they taken to arrive in the UK (or USA)?

Mine was shipped 24 June and has been stuck in Osaka ever since. It hasn't even left Japan yet.

I've ordered them on June 22, so probably shipped on 24th as well.
Arrived today in Netherlands. 

Probably best to contact Kenji. He responded quite prompt and friendly.

About 2 weeks then an incorrect parcelforce 20% charge even though he put 5% import fee code on. Morons. Border force sent me £100 back yesterday.

Thanks for the reminder about VAT.  I will have to check mine carefully.  Do you know offhand what the correct 5% import fee code is?   

There is a thread in this forum for it.

just claim it back from the BOR form on parcelforce site. You just fill that in with receipts

have to pay the pf fee as well / vat before you can do this though

Ours were dispatched 13 June and still in Osaka according to Japan Post.

Can’t wait to see them

[turntored]

Same here.

Been stuck in Osaka for a week now.

Kenji very apologetic.

[gsy]

Yeah I think so. Not much Kenji can do. Must be nice though he has a few more admirers.

I'm glad it's not just me.  Perhaps Japan is putting all parcels in quarantine for a couple of weeks due to coronavirus.  I know Japan takes the pandemic very seriously, unlike the UK. 

Nope 😁

I know Japan has a very low covid death rate.  But that doesn't contradict what I said.  

If you read the article I’m not entirely sure you can say they were taking it seriously

[tonys]

Some of his work is fantastic. Thanks for the link

Thanks a lot!

[gsy]

Mine took 4 days to do that hop

[Zero Hero 2]

Since you started sharing I got my eyes up on this dude aswell. Think is so simple but yet sofisticated. Will try to get my hands on one from his shop.

[gsy]

Ours have just arrived. Very well packaged and protected.

[Bruggs]

These are really cool! Thanks for posting. I will be picking up a couple of these myself.

There must be someone on here who lives in Europe who can order it for you and send it to you.
