prettygoodwordkakemono (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.

Japan, I think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For Korean, it seems, the individual characters in those three terms are comprehensible, but not any of the pairwise combinations. (That's common, AFAIK in my relative ignorance; my mother was able to figure out my query about 真逆 after discussing it with a friend who speaks Mandarin, but among CJK (dunno about Viet), it's valid semantically only in Japanese.)
