In Japan, hanging scrolls traditionally made from paper with calligraphy or Eastern paintings have been enjoyed as part of indoor decoration, often displayed in alcoves known as tokonoma. Initially introduced to Japan as Buddhist paintings, hanging scrolls developed further from the Kamakura period onward as complementary items that enhance the appearance of independent art works, such as ink paintings depicting flowers, birds, winds, and the moon.

Recently, wall art has been created as interior items utilizing the techniques of historic traditional crafts. The variety is extensive, including wall art made from lacquer traditionally used for Japanese tableware, and pieces upcycling no longer worn kimonos. In Japan, the alcove serves as a spiritual anchor for the family and an important space for entertaining guests. Hanging scrolls and wall art are cherished as indoor decorations that convey the homeowner's sentiments to visitors, ancestors' thoughts to descendants, and express the beauty cultivated throughout Japan's long history.
