The Japanese term sumi means black ink, and "e" means painting. It indicates one of the art forms in which subjects are painted with black ink in all possible gradations ranging from pure black to the lightest shades achievable by dissolving ink in water. However, this does not mean that everything painted in this way deserves to be called sumi-e.

This is stunning art piece is a must for any lover of art. 

The painting in the frame is 28.5 inches by 25 inches
