Thank you Matt, the explanation I've found is that before the 11th century Kyoto had the different name of Miyako, but instead of changing the name of the cultivar to higashidekyoto they just left it as it was.
The main plant doesn't look like the other higashidemiyako photos I can find, because now the new growth on the main plant has white lines throughout the green, and the reverse variegated one turned out to have a half ghost/half regular variegation, but the other younger fan is doing the reverse variegation too! I will have to email Cheiko to see if these changes have names.
