Transition B: House-Nude Prints 1974-79 takes the nude (a symbol for modernity) from the previous period and combines it with a photo of a house (domesticity and tradition) that Hodaka had seen in his travels. Not unlike a dramaturge, Hodaka evokes a visceral feeling in each print about the tension or clash between the modern and the traditional, a dynamic found in human culture and in the human psyche. Similarly, photoetched zinc plates now take their place alongside woodblocks. No. 441 points to the next stage.
