Importing Teppo Into Japan.


Recommended Posts

Hi. I have an okimono sized teppo pistol which is full functioning. A friend of mine residing in Japan dearly wants it. The question is. What is the best way of getting it there? Can I take it in luggage and declare it the way I would a sword? Or will I get machine gunned on the spot?

Mark, an okimono can be almost any size you like. Do you mean Netsuke? Is it signed? Will you be showing us any photos, drawings, even from a fuzzy distance?

You can send it legally or illegally but either way will not be easy. Carrying it in with no research, no advanced warning and no translation is courting trouble.
