Hamaya Hiroshi: Sukayu Hot Spring, Aomori, 1957

What an amazing image.  Mixed bathing and given the boy lower left what appears to be entire families, probably much of the village.  Apart from the woman standing behind the shakuhachi player there are no genitalia or mammaries on display.  A group of bodies top left forms a triangle, capping a curve that leads the eye down to the boy bottom left.

Seven images in this series can be found at the Getty Museum website.
