An untitled woodblock print from Hodo's body of work. The shin-hanga tradition in which he worked was distinguished by its emphasis on technical excellence, the collaborative process between artist, carver, and printer producing results of exceptional refinement. Hodo's designs took full advantage of this technical infrastructure, his flower, bird, and figure subjects realized through the precise color registration and tonal control that gave the best shin-hanga prints their luminous, jewel-like quality.
