    For the people who were wondering: These types of paintings are known as handscrolls. They differ from western canvas paintings and handing scrolls in that they were DESIGNED to be HANDLED and viewed up CLOSE and PERSONAL within your HANDS, not hung up on a wall are viewed from a distance (hence the name hand+scrolls). These paintings were meant to be interpreted from right to left and can be seen as a narrative (kind of like a comic book). Thus, you should view them section by section similar to the demonstrator in the video. Museums will often display these handscrolls completely rolled out simply because it would be impractical for them to roll, unroll, roll, etc. for every passing visitor.

    You don't. only "hanging scrolls" can be hung.

    These are brought out from time to time for sharing with a couple of friends. They are not hung permanently like Western art.
