$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Yamaguchi's contemplative, semi-abstract style has a niche following. Condition and impression quality are key factors.
Germination — a companion or variant to the "Germinate" print — explores the same biological and philosophical subject through a woodblock composition that may differ in color, compositional emphasis, or degree of abstraction. Where "Germinate" focuses on the verb — the act as it occurs — "Germination" as a noun suggests the process in its broader temporal and biological dimensions. Together the two prints constitute a meditation on biological beginning that connects to Yamaguchi's broader interest in life processes as subjects for abstract art.
