were courtesans in Japan.
Oiran were part of Japanese society during the Edo Period, (1600–1868).
Prostitution was legal then, but only in special neighborhoods that were closed to  outsiders.
There were different kinds of oiran, depending on their beauty, skills in art, education, and more.
High-ranking oiran were called .
Only nobles could be with one.
Tayū had many servants, and when they went outside, their servants carried them and followed them, making a procession.
They wore very expensive clothes and jewelry.
Any man who wished to be with an oiran had to follow difficult rituals and etiquette.
Geisha replaced oiran.
Geisha practiced common types of entertainment enjoyed by the people of that time.
They became more popular than oiran.
The last known oiran was in 1761.
A few women still practice the arts of the oiran today (without sex) to continue the cultural heritage.

A  is a type of very expensive and elegant Japanese restaurant.
Traditionally they only accept new customers who are recommended by known and trusted clients.
They usually include entertainment by geisha, but not always in modern times.
Ryōtei are usually a place where very important business or political meetings can take place in private.

The orchestra was formed in 1945 by Walter Legge.
Legge was not a conductor, but he was a man who organized a lot of music, especially recordings.
The orchestra spent most of their time making gramophone recordings, but sometimes they also gave concerts.
The conductor Thomas Beecham led their first concert in 1946, but Beecham had always organized his own orchestras and he wanted to organize this one.
He even wanted to change the orchestra’s name.
The players decided that they did not want Beecham as their conductor.
Beecham went on to form another orchestra which he called the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
In the first years of the Philharmonia they were conducted by several world-famous conductors, including Arturo Toscanini, Wilhelm Furtwängler and, especially, Herbert von Karajan.
Karajan helped the orchestra to become one of the finest in the world, and he made many recordings with them, including all the Beethoven symphonies.
In 1954 Karajan left to conduct the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Legge found another world-famous conductor, Otto Klemperer.
Although he was already quite old, Klemperer made many excellent recordings with the orchestra.
In 1959 the orchestra gave Klemperer the title of Music Director for the rest of his life.
In 1964  Legge thought the orchestra had done enough recordings and he was going to bring it to an end.
Both the orchestra and Klemperer wanted it to continue, so the orchestra made their own organizing body (like other London orchestras) and they continued, calling themselves by a new name: the New Philharmonia Orchestra.
They gave their first concert under their new name on 27 October 1964.
It was a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No.
9, conducted by Klemperer.
The orchestra gave many more concerts after it became self-governing than it had when Legge had been organizing them.
Continuing as the New Philharmonia Orchestra, it got its old name “Philharmonia Orchestra” back again in 1977, and has been known by that name ever since.
Klemperer retired from conducting in 1971, but was officially still its principal conductor until his death in 1973.
Since then the orchestra has been conducted by Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Christoph von Dohnányi and Esa-Pekka Salonen who has conducted them since 2008.
Concerts Today
Today, the orchestra continues to give many concerts, travelling around Britain as well as abroad.
Since 1995 they have been based in the Royal Festival Hall in London.
They also give regular concerts at De Montfort Hall, Leicester and the Corn Exchange, Bedford.
Abroad they often play in the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
The Philharmonia has made more than one thousand recordings.
It has also been heard on the soundtracks of many films, including such classics as Laurence Olivier's 1944 film version of Shakespeare's Henry V, and David Lean's film version of Oliver Twist (1948).

Outside Japan, the word is used to refer to any of the different kinds of Japanese drums (, wadaiko, "Japanese drum" in Japanese) and to the more or less new art of taiko drumming bands (sometimes better called, "kumi-daiko", ).
The taiko drum originated in the country of Japan.
This drum was created by Daihachi Oguchi in 1951.
The taiko drum makes a very loud, deep sound.
In a traditional Japanese village the odaiko (big drum) defined the extent of the village land.
In modern Japan, wadaiko has become more of a performance art, seen only during festivals or in concert.
The most famous Wadaiko performance group are 'Kodo' (meaning heart-beat).
They are not only the worlds most respected Japanese drumming group, they also maintain many traditional art forms.
They group lives on the island 'Sado Higashima' and live together as a community in a traditional way.
Many other cultures have adopted this style of drumming, from Germany and the United States to Australia.

A hanamachi (花街) is a Japanese word used to call a neighborhood where courtesans and geisha lived and worked.
The word's literal meaning is "flower town".
These neighborhoods used to have many okiya (geisha houses) and ochaya (tea houses, where geishas entertained guests).
The term hanamachi is used in modern Japan to call the areas where modern-day geisha are still living and working.
Today, hanamachi are rare outside of Kyoto.
There are two types of Japanese traditional dance: Odori, which was created in the Edo period; and Mai, which was created in the western part of Japan.
Odori came from Kabuki drama, where it is danced by men.
Mai derives from Noh drama, also danced by men.
Today it is usually danced by female dancers, and is mostly done in houses, instead of on stage.
A type of the Mai style of Japanese dance is the Kyomai or Kyoto style dance.
Kyomai was created in the 17th century Tokugawa cultural period.
Noh drama, music and dance was heavily influenced by the elegance of the manners of the Japanese Imperial Court.
Kabuki drama, and hence Odori, was a more democratic form, but still (viewed with modern eyes) quite traditional.
Parkour is an activity in which the goal is to move from one place to another as quickly and efficiently as possible, using the abilities of the human body.
Parkour helps to overcome barriers, and is practiced in rural and urban areas.
Parkour practitioners are called traceurs, or traceuses for females.
Founded by David Belle in France, practitioners only use efficient movements to develop their bodies and minds, and to be able to overcome barriers in an emergency.
It may also be a form of entertainment or a hobby.
Acrobatics (such as flips and wall flips) are not part of parkour, because of inefficiency in a difficult situation (emergency).
Freerunning is the branch of parkour, when such flips are used rather than efficient movement.
In 1988, David Belle was 15 years old.
His father Raymond Belle was a great fireman.
David was influenced by his father.
He left school at the age of 16 and his father helped him to make him stronger.
David and his classmates began to create new actions to train themselves.
They named it parkour.

Squashes are a kind of vegetables.
They originally came from the New World.
Gourds are in the same family as squashes.
Pumpkins and Zucchini (courgette) are types of squashes.
Although squash is a fruit according to its botanical classification, it is generally considered a vegetable in food preparation.
The English word "squash" comes from askutasquash (which means "a green thing eaten raw").
This is a word from the Narragansett language, which was documented by Roger Williams in his 1643 publication A Key Into the Language of America.
There are similar words for squash in related languages of the Algonquian family such as Massachusett.
Squash and art
The squash has been an important crop in the Andes mountains since the pre-Columbian Era.
The Moche culture from Northern Peru made ceramics from earth, water, and fire.
This pottery was used to represent important themes.
Squash are a popular shape in Moche ceramics.

Nelumbo is a genus of water plants which are also known as lotus.
Lotus flowers are large – up to 20 cm (8 inches) across – and they smell sweet.
The Sacred lotus of Asia has pink flowers.
The American lotus has yellow flowers.
The lotus flowers grow over the water.
Lotus leaves often float on top of the water.
The roots of lotus plants are in the mud (wet dirt) under the water.
Every part of every plant must have air for respiration (breathing).
Air spaces in the stems and roots make the lotus able to live and respire under water.
People can eat lotus roots and seeds.
Cattle (cows) like to eat the leaves and flowers.
Lotuses look rather like water lilies from the Nymphaeaceae family.
It is the "National flower" of both India and Vietnam and also the "Provincial flower" of Sindh province, Pakistan.
Aquatic plants
In botany, Nymphaeaceae is the name of a family of plants which grow in water.
The family is also called water-lily family.
Their flowers suggest they are one of the earliest groups of angiosperms.
Modern genetic analyses by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group researchers has confirmed its basal position among flowering plants.
Also, the Nymphaeaceae are more diverse and wdespread than other basal angiosperms.
Nymphaeaceae is in the order Nymphaeales.
According to the most widely accepted flowering plant classification system, this is the second diverging group of angiosperms after Amborella.

, born Masako Tanaka on November 2, 1949 in Kyoto, was Japan's number one  geiko (geisha) until she retired at the age of 29.
She entertained many important people when they visited Japan, like Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.
She retired because she was tired of the profession, and wanted to start a family.
Author Arthur Golden did an interview to her and used her as inspiration for his book Memoirs of a Geisha, that was later made a movie.
Iwasaki later said that the book was full of lies, and that nothing that Golden said ever happened to her.
She put a lawsuit against Golden for this, and they solved it out of court in 2003.
After the publication of Memoirs of a Geisha, Iwasaki wrote her autobiography, Geisha, A Life.

Hindus believe that the Matsya was the first important avatar of Vishnu.
As the Matsya avatar, Vishnu took the form of a big fish.
There is a story about this in Hindu scriptures.
The story tells about a demon (an asura).
That asura was very wicked.
He snatched the Vedas, the holy books of the Hindus, and went deep inside the sea.
At this point, Vishnu changed his form.
He became a matsya, that is, a fish.
He entered the sea and brought back the Vedas.
He may be compared with Noah or Adam.
Kurma is an avatar in the Hindu religion.
Hindus believe that Vishnu, an important god of Hinduism, had several forms, or avatars, and the second important avatar is called the Kurma avatar.
In this avatar, Vishnu took the form of a kurma to help tha devtas and asuras to churn the Kshira Sagara, to gain amrita.
This avatar took the Mount Mandaar on his back and helped the mount to churn the ocean.
Kurma is a Sanskrit language word that means a tortoise.
As a kurma, Vishnu is the symbol of strength and stability.
Hindus believe that Vishnu had many important Avatars, and the Varaha avatar was the third avatar of Vishnu.
In this avatar, Vishnu took the form of a black varaha.
Varaha is a Sanskrit language word that means a boar.
There was a daitya (a demon) named Hiranyaksha.
He threw the Earth (called Prithivi by the Hindus) into the waters of the ocean.
At this point, Vishnu took the form of a black boar.
He entered the water and carried the earth on its body and brought the earth safely to where it should be.
Thus, Vishnu as a varaha saved the earth from being destroyed.
This is a parody on the Judeo-Christian story of Noah's Ark.
A Daitya, according to Hinduism, is a type of giant that fought against the gods.
It has various meanings in different mythologies.
In early texts, it refers to the archetypal man, or to the first man on Earth.
The wild boar (Sus scrofa) belongs to the family of the real pig (Suidae) from the order of artiodactyls.
They live today in almost every part of the world, even many countries that are not their natural habitats.
The wild boar is native to Eurasia and North Africa.
Wild boars are omnivorous and easily adapt to changes.
They were hunted in Europe from long ago for many of their body parts, and were shown in the mythology of many ancient civilizations.
Greek, Phoenician, and Persian mythology showed them as fierce, sometimes evil, while others showed them as brave, powerful animals.
Again, others saw them as parasitic.
Even today many people see wild boars very differently.
The hair of the boar was often used when making the toothbrush until the 1930s.
The hair for the bristles usually came from the neck area of the boar.
The brushes were popular because the bristles were soft.
However, this was not the best material for oral hygiene because the hairs dried slowly and usually held bacteria.
The body of the wild boar, when seen from the side, often looks very big.
This impression is partly because, compared to the large body mass, the legs of the wild boar are short and do not look very strong.
The wild boar's head is very large.
Its eyes are high up on the head, while the ears are small with bristles around it.
Its tail can move very quickly, and the wild boar often uses it to show when his mood.
If seen from the front, the body looks quite narrow.
The wild boar has 44 teeth in its jaw, which helps its strong bite.
The male and the female wild boars' snout shapes are different.
Piglets
A wild boar usually gives birth to about 4 – 6 piglets at a time.
Piglets weigh from about 750 – 1000g when they are first born.
They are fully weaned after 3 – 4 months.
They begin eating solid foods such as worms and grubs after about 2 weeks.
Wild boar appears in European culture as symbol of warrior virtues.
It also appears in Greek, Norse mythologies, vaishnavism, hinduism.

Narasimha, according to Hinduism, was the fourth avatar of Vishnu.
In this form, Vishnu had the body of a man, but he had a head of a lion.
The Hindu scriptures tell this story about Narashimha.
There was a demon (a daitya) named Hiranyakashipu.
He was against all gods.
But, his son named Prahlad used to worship the gods, especially Vishnu.
Hiranyakashipu was not happy at his son and wanted to burn him to death.
Hiranyakashipu also wanted to kill everyone who worshipped the gods and make everyone worship him instead.
Vishnu became Narasimha, and protected Prahlad and other people who worshipped the gods by stopping Hiranyakashipu.
Brahma had granted Hiranyakashipu a boon that kept him safe so that he could not be killed by a human, animal or deva.
He also could not be killed in the day or night, or inside or outside of his palace.
This made Hiranyakashipu believe that no one could kill him.
When he wanted to kill his son for worshiping Vishnu, Vishnu came to earth incarnated as a half-man, half-lion creature (neither man nor human).
This way Vishnu killed Hiranyakashipu in the twilight (neither day, nor night) and on the porch of the palace (neither inside, nor outside), without disrupting the boon given to him by Brahma.
Now, Narasimha Jayanti is celebrated across the world.
Hindus believe that Prahlada was a good person.
He was the son of Hiranyakashipu, his evil father, and he worshipped Vishnu.
Narasimha protected him from Hiranyakashipu.
This article is about the Yugas in Hinduism.
For the Indian meditation exercise, go to Yoga.
Hindus believe that there are periods of time called yugas ("ages" or "eras"): Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga.
When Kali Yuga ends, a new Satya Yuga begins.
Satya Yuga (also called Krita Yuga) is the first age, which lasts for 1,728,000 years.
It is "the age of truth" or "Golden Age", when all humans are good and very religious.
They are ruled by gods and live for many centuries.
Treta Yuga is the second age, which lasts for 1,296,000 years.
During the last Treta Yuga, god Vishnu's avatars Vamana, Parashurama, and Ramachandra were born.
The Indian epic legend Ramayana is set in that period.
Dvapara Yuga is the third age, which lasts for 864,000 years, when humans are still religious but their lives are much shorter.
The last Dvapara Yuga ended with the death of Krishna and Mahabharata is set in its final years.
Kali Yuga is the fourth and final age, which lasts for 432,000 years.
It is the "dark age" when humans lose their spirituality and are abandoned by gods.
Hindus believe that we currently live in a Kali Yuga.
The Hindu concept of Time
Vedic Age of the Universe
Hindus believe that Vishnu has many important avatars.
The Vamana avatar was the fifth avatar.
In this avatar, Vishnu was in the form of a human.
Vamana avatar is basically in the form of a bramhin(a caste in hinduism which is responsible for ancient spiritual, cultural, educational activitiesand the highest in the Varnas) was taken for a demon king 'Bali'.
Lord Vishnu in this avatar asked Bali to offer him 'three feet land' as a form of offering a king offered to a brahmin as a goodwill during ancient times in hindu culture.
The story goes when king Bali captured the Adobe of hindu demigods and caused them a fierce battle. '
Aditi' - the mother figure of demigods in hinduism prayed to Lord Vishnu and pleased by her prayers, Lord Vishnu appeared and assured her  a boon.
In a thought of revenge , she wished that may Bali loose his whole wealth and power."
