Specialist note

This important image of the back of a boy's shaved head appears in Moriyama's 1982 book Light and Shadow, which marks his return to photography following his post-Farewell Photography hiatus. He moves beyond the PROVOKE aesthetic to achieve a new clarity -- a black and white world of light and shadow.
