kakemono (掛物)
“kakemono” (掛物) is a hanging scroll often used in traditional Japanese rooms (tokonoma 床の間). It can feature calligraphy (書 shodō), ink painting (水墨画 suibokuga), or seasonal motifs. Think of it as a rotating art piece—people change the kakemono throughout the year to harmonize with the season or occasion. Its quiet presence is quite shibui (渋い), subtly elevating the space while gently guiding the mood.
