Mure (herd)

A tightly packed cluster of nude human figures, their bodies almost entirely covered in blue-grey irezumi-style tattoos with accents of coral red and cream, curled and interlocked so limbs, backs, and shaved or dark-haired heads overlap into a single dense mass. The composition is cropped close with no visible background beyond a solid red ground, flattening the bodies into an abstract, mosaic-like pattern of interlocking curves. Signed in pencil at lower right beneath a red seal; woodblock print titled *Mure* (herd) by Masato Sudo, year unknown.
