The khon is a key component of the Thai performing arts which also include classic dance (natasin), shadow-puppet plays(nang), and court dance (la-khon nai) among others.

9. What were the Korean equivalents to the Japanese Geisha called during the Koryo period of Korean history?

Answer: Kisaeng

Despite popular myth, these women were not prostitutes, though sexual activities were sometimes part of their repertoire. I would liken them more to courtesans in the West.

Answer: Kojiki

The Kojiki traces Japanese history all the way back to the period of the god/myths. From the first emperor Jimmu down to the present time in which it was written around the end of the 6th century A.D., it is a fascinating work. I hope you enjoyed this quiz and thank you for giving it a try!
