Emakimono (絵巻物, lit. 'picture scroll'; also emaki-mono) or emaki (絵巻) is an illustrated horizontal narration system of painted handscrolls that dates back to Nara-period (710–794 CE) Japan. Initially copying their much older Chinese counterparts in style, during the succeeding Heian (794–1185) and Kamakura periods (1185–1333), Japanese emakimono developed their own distinct style. The term therefore refers only to Japanese painted narrative scrolls.

The Ippen Shōnin Eden (一遍 上人 絵 伝; "Illustrated Biography of the itinerant monk Ippen") is a group of emakimono or emaki (painted narrative handscrolls) from the Kamakura period of Japanese history (1185–1333). A set of illuminated manuscripts, the group describes the life of Ippen (1234–1289), a Buddhist monk who founded the Ji-shū (時宗; "Time sect") branch of Pure Land Buddhism. Amongst the various emakimono bearing this title, the original version from 1299, named Ippen Hijiri-e (一遍 聖 絵; "Paintings from the life of the holy man Ippen"), is the best known and most famous.

Developing immersive learning experiences for “Emaki-mono” Japanese historical narrative picture scrolls. In this study we developed VR Ban Dainagon Emaki, a virtual reality application for learning a traditional Japanese picture scroll. Students can view the whole scroll of an emaki in a virtual space and grasp the big picture of the story, enhanced by voiceovers, subtitles and highly expressive animations. Future work may include enabling social learning using metaverse platforms such as Mozilla Hubs.

The Shigisan Engi Emaki (信貴山縁起絵巻; lit. "Legend of Mount Shigi Emaki") is an emakimono or emaki (painted narrative handscroll) made in the second half of the 12th century CE, during the Heian period of Japanese history (794–1185). It is an illuminated manuscript detailing miracles attributed to the monk Myōren, who lived on Mount Shigi near Nara in Japan in the latter part of the 9th century. The tales are composed in the genre of engi, a narrative that chronicles the founding of a Buddhist or Shinto establishment. In the case of the Shigisan Engi Emaki, the establishment is Chōgosonshi-ji, where Myōren used to live. The pictorial style of the work, known as otoko-e, or "men's pictures", is…

The Heiji Monogatari Emaki (平治物語絵巻; "The Tale of Heiji Emaki", or sometimes "The Tale of Heiji Ekotoba"; also translated as the "Heiji Rebellion Scrolls") is an emakimono or emaki (painted narrative handscroll) from the second half of the 13th century, in the Kamakura period of Japanese history (1185–1333).

Both the author and the sponsor of the work remain unknown, and its production probably spanned several decades. Nowadays, only three original scrolls and a few fragments o…

Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga (鳥獣人物戯画; literally "Animal-person Caricatures"), commonly shortened to Chōjū-giga (鳥獣戯画; literally "Animal Caricatures"), is a famous set of four picture scrolls, or emakimono, belonging to Kōzan-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan. The Chōjū-giga scrolls are also referred to as Scrolls of Frolicking Animals and Scrolls of Frolicking Animals and Humans in English. Some think that Toba Sōjō created the scrolls; however, it seems clear from the style that more than one artist is involved. The right-to-left reading direction of Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga is traditional in East Asia, and is still common in Japan. Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga is also credited as the oldest work of manga. The scrolls a…
