I prefer the character “游” to “遊.”  For I think 游 is cuter and more stylish.  However, after a little research, I found that “游”, a variant character, is associated with a highly cultivated litterateur.  The meaning of “litterateur,” I suppose, is people like my calligraphy teacher, who was born in the Meiji era and had received a very high education; engaged in the arts of literature, poetry, calligraphy, and drawing.

「遊」よりも「游」の字が好きです。この方が可愛いし、お洒落だと思うからです。けれども、ちょっと調べると、「游」という異体字は、文人的だとのこと。文人て、例えば、明治生まれで、高い教育を受けて、詩文・書画など、文雅の道に携わる人、つまり私の書の師のような人のことですよね。
