The hanging scroll is a popular format for paintings in China, Korea, and Japan. The painting is usually mounted onto several layers of paper, usually with a cover made of woven silk. A wooden roller at the bottom serves as a support when the painting is rolled up. Below is an example of Chinese hanging scroll, which depicts a mountain landscape.
