Topic: Hanging scroll


  
  Ukiyo-e Gallery, Japanese Hanging Scrolls ("Kakejiku")
Of course, like Japanese woodblocks, one of the reasons that make Japanese hanging scrolls a logical extension of one’s woodblock print collection is the fact that their images, too, are comprised of flat, two-dimensional artwork done either on sheets of Japanese paper or flat silk.
In the Japanese home, often a series of hanging scrolls would be rotated one-by-one in their honored, central display alcove area known as the home’s “tokonoma.” Many such scrolls were considered to be “seasonal,” while others might relate to specific holidays or special occasions.
Because of this, many Japanese scrolls (as well as "surimono" and "shunga" prints) are known to be written purposely to play upon this uncertainty of translation, hence, reading the scriptive "kanji" becomes a "game" of guessing between various possible meanings.
