makimono
Horizontal hand scroll
Makimono is a horizontal Japanese scroll, unrolled from right to left to reveal paintings or calligraphy in sequence.
The format suits narrative scenes or continuous landscapes.
In sushi terminology, makimono refers to rolled sushi—rice and fillings wrapped in seaweed: We ordered a variety of makimono.
