KIKUかもん は何ですか? — What is "KIKUかもん" ?

I know people will ask me what's the meaning of my blog name. so here is the shortest story that I could write. Kikukamon (I stylized it as KIKUかもん) is basically a Chrysanthemum Flower Seal that used by emperor and the members of Japanese imperial family (you could google it :p) and you could see the crest on japanese passport.

BUT !

I DID NOT say (or want) that I'm a member of japanese imperial family nor emperor. I'm not even Japanese lol. I wish i am but then what can I do if God didn't let me be a japanese? :p

The reason why I choose that name simply because my name is Chrysant. So far I know it's a rare name for human and I didn't (yet) meet another person with the name same as me :/ that's why I spent my school days hating my name because people in Indonesia rarely could read my name correctly (maybe because sunflower is more common?) They even couldn't hear / spell it clearly and like 2-3 times wanted me to repeat my name with the result they still didn't get it. well, I don't blame them but my name lol. I even asked my dad to change my name haha.

But well, it's nearly impossible to change my name (and whats for, really) so I tried to search whats the good meaning about my name. and I was like *holly crap* its a flower for dead people ! its something that got sooooo huge respect and honor in China and Japan. I don't know why except they say chrysanthemum flower could heal various illness in ancient China but no prove of medical-test. Anyway, I'm happy to have this name now and I hope I could lead my life like the flower itself; blooming beautifully that will make people happy just by see it :)
