Kakemono - is a traditional Japanese scroll that features calligraphy or painting. They are usually used in homes, temples, or tea houses as decorative elements. Kakemono can play an important role in tea ceremonies, where they are often hung in the "tokonoma", a special alcove for decorative elements.
Kakemono appeared in Japan under the influence of Chinese culture during the Tang dynasty (618-907). These elongated vertical scrolls were a common form of how calligraphy and painting were displayed in East Asia.
Modern Kakemono are often used as a sign of respect or tribute during various events, such as religious holidays, public events, or special exhibitions. Additionally, they can be used as an important part of decor in Japanese restaurants or hotels, to create a traditional atmosphere.
