"Hair Style Tokyo (With OBI)" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Masayuki Yoshinaga. Born in Juso, Osaka in 1964, his father was in prison when he was born. He spent his youth as a delinquent in Juso and fled to Izu to escape debt. There, he met an English woman and followed her to Europe, where he discovered photography. After returning to Japan, he aimed to become a "child welfare worker," obtained a high school equivalency diploma, and entered Bukkyo University, but became disillusioned with the welfare system at the time, which relied heavily on subsidies. He embarked on another wandering journey and once again turned to "photography." After that, he worked part-time during the day and attended photography school at night, dedicating himself to "welfare activities" that he could do through the "camera." This book focuses on the hairstyles of young people in Tokyo photographed in the 1990s. It includes a text by Shinji Miyadai titled "What the 'Free Hairstyle Tribe' Teaches Us About Our Contemporary Times." Comes with an obi (paper band).
