Mineko (Okasan)

Mineko was the okasan of the House of Spring Flowers. Floating Village's reputation for producing the some of the finest geisha in the Empire was largely due to her geisha house, the most profitable in the Empire.

Death
Shiba Odoshi, a Shiba general, was one of the geisha house's most notable patron. Eventually Mineko began to fall in love with him, responding to his kind and humble nature. When in 1132 Odoshi came to Hitomi's side to rise into the Celestial Heavens as the Evening Star, Mineko was heartbroken and did not take food or drink since Odoshi left. She died, and the geisha house was renamed the House of the Evening Star, in her memory and that of her beloved.
