kakemono (kah-kuh-MOH-noh) - n., a Japanese hanging scroll with calligraphy or a painting.
Displayed vertically on the wall, or rolled up when not in use. This is the Japanese version of the Chinese lìzhóu. Adapted from Japanese, naturally, where it's also kakemono (掛物), compounded from the stem of kakeru, to hang + mono, thing -- so literally, hanging thing.
---L.
