House-Nude Prints 1974-79 again seems to be a transition. It takes the nude (symbolizing modernity)
from the previous period and poses it next to a house (domesticity and tradition) that Hodaka had photographed 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.
