What these old Japan story boards are called?

Question:


I can't describe it well but they were horizontal and would tell a tale but have artwork along with it. Seems like they were all on one scroll. I know I am not giving much but any help would be good.

Answer:


I guess it's "Emaki mono" or "Emaki" in short
