    Don't stress yourself over those things: there are a whole lot of innocuous misconceptions out there that don't get really affect games and are often rooted in real ambiguity. "Geisha" did refer to prostitutes during some periods and escorts during others, and a "masamune blade" is a valid term--its not worth worrying about too much. Go with what you like and what makes for the best story, and only worry about not being racist!

    That said: Nice map, great project, ambitious work, keep it up and show us more!
