	Hou-ou (or Hoo-oo) -- The Japanese Phoenix
		In Japan, as earlier in China, the mythical Phoenix was adopted as a symbol of the imperial household, particularily the empress.
		During the Han period, 2,200 years ago, the Phoenix was used as a symbol to indicate the direction south, and was often shown in a pair of facing male and female birds.
		An interesting difference between the way the dragon and the phoenix are shown in decorations is that the dragon is used to fill all the space available on a vase for example, while the phoenix is used to fill specific space in the decoration such as around trees, rocks, and flowers.
