Makimono – is a traditional Japanese horizontal handwritten scroll designed to be unrolled in a horizontal direction. This format was popular in various forms of art, particularly in painting and calligraphy.
Compared to Western artworks that are hung on walls, makimono has an interactive nature. To view the image or text on a makimono, you need to manually unroll the scroll.
Traditionally, makimono was used to present historical images, poetic works, religious texts, or literary works. This format allowed authors to create sequential interpretations or long narratives.
It is also important to note that scrolls were very practical for storage, as they could be compactly rolled up and kept in special boxes.
