Il rotolo disteso è un rotolo lungo e stretto usato per mostrare una serie di scene nella pittura e nella calligrafia cinese, giapponese (makimono, 巻物) o coreana. Il rotolo disteso presenta un'opera d'arte in forma orizzontale e può essere eccezionalmente lungo, misurando di solito fino ad alcuni metri in lunghezza e intorno a 25–40 cm in altezza.[2] I rotoli distesi si guardano generalmente iniziando dal lato destro.[3][4] Questo tipo di rotolo è destinato ad essere guardato in piano su un tavolo ammirandolo sezione per sezione durante lo srotolamento come se si viaggiasse attraverso un paesaggio.[4][5] In questo modo, questo formato consente la descrizione di una narrazione o di un viaggio continui.[6]

Scroll painting is a painting done on a long roll of paper that could be rolled up.In Bengal in India local village scroll painters(called patuas) and potters began developing a new style of art.
Storia
The handscroll originated from ancient Chinese text documents.[7] From the Spring and Autumn period (770-481 BCE) through the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), bamboo or wooden slips were bound and used to write texts on.[7] During the Eastern Han period (25-220), the use of paper and silk as handscrolls became more common.[7] The handscroll was the one of the main formats for texts up until the Tang dynasty (618-907).[7] Since the Three Kingdoms (220–280), the handscroll became a standard form for mounting artwork.[7] New styles were developed over time.[7]
Descrizione
A handscroll has a backing of protective and decorative silk (包首) with a small title label (題籤) on it.[7] The front of a scroll usually consists of a frontispiece (引首) at the right side, the artwork (畫心) itself in the middle, and a colophon panel (拖尾) at the left side for various inscriptions.[6][7][8] The right side of the scroll, to where the frontispiece was located, is known as the "heaven" (天頭).[7] Vertical strips (隔水) are used to separate the different sections.[7] Most handscrolls display only one painting, although several short paintings can also be mounted on the scroll.[7] On the right end of a scroll is a wooden stave (天杆), which serves as a support to a scroll.[7] A silk cord (帶子) and a fastener (別子) is attached to the stave and used to secure a rolled-up scroll.[7] A wooden roller (木杆) is attached on the left end and forms an axis to help roll up a scroll.[7]
