A sun going down among the grasses — threads of light trapped in the ink.
暮 Mù · Dusk — an original Chinese calligraphy tattoo design in clerical script, hand-rendered by Cai Yong (133–192 CE) as preserved in the Xiping Stone Classics of 175 CE. The old form is a picture: a sun going down among the grasses.
In Chinese thought, mù means dusk — evening, the closing of the day — as the Classic of Poetry puts it: "The day is ending; down come the cattle and the sheep."
