A Makimono (jpn. 巻物) is a Japanese hand scroll, an ink-and-brush painting or calligraphy which is supposed to be held in the hand and unrolls horizontally. Makimono were taken to scenic places[citation needed] to enjoy them in a beautiful surrounding, and stored away when home. They were also given as gifts.
In contrast to the Makimono, Kakemono is a painting that unrolls vertically and hangs in a recess in a traditional Japanese house or in a teahouse.
The term also refers to maki-zushi.
