A hanging scroll is one of the many traditional ways to display and exhibit East Asian painting and calligraphy. They are different from handscrolls, which are narrower and designed to be viewed flat on a table.

Hanging scrolls are generally intended to be displayed for short periods of time, after which they are rolled up and tied for storage.^[2]^[3] They are traditionally rotated according to season or occasion, rather than be on permanent display.^[4] Their artwork could be mounted with decorative brocade silk borders.^[3] The craft of creating a hanging scroll is considered an art in itself.^[5]
