$1,000–$15,000. Reproductions and common prints: $1,000–$3,000. Key value factors: Yumeji's popular image means many reproductions exist. Original prints are scarcer and more valued.
"Yuruki Nagare Ni" — "In the Slow Stream" or "To the Slow Current" — is a title that encapsulates the tempo of Yumeji's aesthetic world: the slow drift rather than the vigorous current, the meandering movement of feeling rather than its flood. His figures inhabit slow time — the extended moment of waiting, the prolonged quality of longing, the particular temporal suspension of someone who is feeling something too intensely to move quickly through it. The slow stream is both literal subject and emotional metaphor, the pace of his art and the rhythm of his feeling.
