	===~~Manyoushuu~~===		===Omiki===
	~~Manyoushuu~~: ~~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man'y%C5%8Dsh%C5%AB,~~ is ~~a famous collection of 8th century poetry~~.		(E: Omiki is sacred or ritual sake served at shrines.)

	===~~Taketori Monogatari~~===		===Omiki (2)===
	~~Taketori Monogatari http~~:~~//en~~.~~wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Bamboo_Cutter, aka Kaguya~~-~~hime,~~ is ~~a famous story about a bamboo cutter who finds a child~~ in ~~the woods~~, ~~who turns out to be~~ from the ~~Moon~~.		(E: "Omiki" is written in kanji. Miki is telling Sa-ko-sama that her name is written only in simplified letters - as many girls' names are - not kanji, so that while it might have originally come from "Omiki" it wasn't spelled the same way.)

	===~~Houjouki~~===		===Sa-ko-sama===
	~~Houjouki~~ is a ~~13th century tale of the hopelessness of humanity's superficial achievement~~.		(E: Sa-ko-sama says, "Miki" but Miki uses the phrase "Omiki Tokkuri" which is the bottles for sake. So, Sa-ko is giving her a nickname...not just using her name.)

	===~~Makura no Soushi~~===		==="Good day" / "Good bye."===
	~~Makura no Soushi~~ is the ~~famous~~ "~~Pillow Book~~" ~~by Heian author Sei Shonagon~~. ~~http~~:~~//en~~.~~wikipedia~~.~~org/wiki/The_Pillow_Book~~. It ~~is a famous collection of lists~~ and ~~personal insights written~~ in the ~~Heian period. Pillow Books were like journals - kept by nobles by their pillows in case~~ of ~~sudden inspiration~~.		(E: Miki doesn't say "Gokigenyou," she says "Sayonara.")

			===Boom===
			(E: "Boom" is slang that means to have a serious interest in something. Sei uses it in the Cherry Blossom arc, when Yumi asks what she should call her. Sei answers, "Inside me, Satou-san is my boom," i.e., "Deep inside, I have a thing for Satou-san." )

			===Yuuichirou===
			(E: Yoshino is guessing based on Yumi and Yuuki's names. Yu - mi, Yuu - ki, contain "Yuu" and the characters for "Miki." So, Yoshino posits two common male names for Yumi's father that begin with "Yuu".)

			===Sayo===
			(E: There's just no way to show you this character, but many kanji can be read in different ways. It's meant to be ironic, here, that Yumi has met the Sayoko who signed the book, without realizing it.)


			===Sei===
			(E: The character for "Sei" in Sei Shonagon and the character for "Sayo" in Sayoko are the same character, so she had the "same name" as the author of the book.)
