[GeikoKikuyo]

Well, "geiko" is Kyoto-ben for "geisha", and Kikuyo is a name that I use just about everywhere I go. It's in hommage to my favorite geisha, Kikuno (her name means "chrysanthemum field") because I think of her as a spiritual onesan (geisha live in sister relationships where the name of the "younger sister" is based on that of the older one). Kikuyo means "chrysanthemum world" because it makes me think of the beautiful past that I wish I could have witnessed.
