Hi, No unfortunately it does not have a box. Re. shipping it will cost £30 if we can keep the weight under 2kgs, otherwise it goes up to £60 for a parcel. However I have just been advised that whilst the parcel will be insured in transit, once it gets to Japan, your post office (shipping carriers) wont accept the parcel as its classified as a sculpture. If you are able to check this please let me know, otherwise I will have to remove Japan as a shipping option. many thanks
