A kakemono (jap. 掛け物, more commonly referred to as kakejiku 掛け軸 in Japan today) is a Japanese scroll painting, an ink-and-brush painting that hangs in a recess in a traditional Japanese house. In a teahouse, or the room called a chashitsu, which is located in a secluded garden setting away from the main dwelling, the choice of the kakemono and its complementary flower arrangement help set the spiritual mood of the ceremony itself, it perfect harmony with the time of year.
In contrast to the Kakemono, a Makimono is a hand scroll, a painting or calligraphy which is supposed to be held in the hand.
