A Tacit Agreement, a color woodblock from 1958, explores the subject of unspoken understanding — the non-verbal pact between two parties that requires no verbal articulation because it is already assumed. In Yamaguchi's semi-abstract language, a tacit agreement might be rendered as two forms that mirror or complement each other without touching, their visual relationship suggesting the implied connection of shared understanding. The subject reflects Yamaguchi's interest in the psychological dimensions of relationship and communication.
