Panchira
is a Japanese word referring to a brief glimpse of a woman's underwear. The term carries risqué connotations similar to the word ' upskirt' in English. In anime and manga, ''panchira'' usually refers to a panty-shot, a visual convention used extensively by Japanese artists and animators since the early 1960s. According to Japanese sources, the convention probably started with Machiko Hasegawa's popular comic strip ''Sazae-san'', whose character designs for Wakame Isono incorporated an improbably brief hemline. The practice was later transferred to animation when Osamu Tezuka's ''Astro Boy'' was adapted for television in 1963.

Lilies are a group of flowering plants which are important in culture and literature in much of the world. Most species are native to the northern hemisphere and their range is temperate climates and extends into the subtropics. Many other plants have "lily" in their common names, but do not belong to the same genus and are therefore not true lilies. Description Lilies are tall perennials ranging in height from . They form naked or tunicless scaly underground bulbs which are their organs of perennation.

Most bulbs are buried deep in the ground, but a few species form bulbs near the soil surface. Many species form stem-roots. With these, the bulb grows naturally at some depth in the soil, and each yea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
