This Yahoo! Japan auction closed this morning for the book, 'Tsuba Kanshoki', 1975 by Torigoye:

It was most likely purchased through a buying service as the feedback number is 39,559 which would be way too high for a single customer and one could surmise it was from outside Japan.  At 40,000 Y it will cost at least $400 by the time fees and shipping are added on, possibly more.  Now then, here is the same book on Grey's site:

$295 plus shipping for a known condition copy guaranteed.

 

Lesson:  Always do your homework before buying.
