What Wikipedia says

A kakemono (掛物; "hanging thing"), more commonly referred to as a kakejiku (掛軸; "hung scroll"), is a Japanese hanging scroll used to display and exhibit paintings and calligraphy inscriptions and designs mounted usually with silk fabric edges on a flexible backing, so that it can be rolled for storage.
