Kakemono "hanging", more commonly referred to as a kakejiku "hung scroll", is a Japanese scroll painting or calligraphy mounted usually with silk fabric edges on a flexible backing, so that it can be rolled for storage.
Often the kakemono used for calligraphy of a Zen phrase in the hand of a distinguished Zen master.
The kakemono was introduced to Japan during the Heian period, primarily for displaying Buddhist images for religious veneration, or as a vehicle to display calligraphy or poetry.
I cannot make a hanging scroll. The making of them depends on specialized craftsmen.

They are different by threads, materials, designs, etc of the decoration.
The thing hanging from under a hanging scroll says a decorative weight "fū chinn". This last one is made "Kutani ware".

My daughter gave me a sort of kakemono but I don't understand the message because I can't read Japonese calligraphy...
