That night, Hatsumomo nearly burns down the Okiya, which results in her departure. As Mameha has been hoping for, Mother subsequently chooses Sayuri over Pumpkin as her successor. Eventually, Sayuri becomes the most famous geisha in Kyoto, outshining both Mameha and Hatsumomo. Meanwhile, Hatsumomo has taken Pumpkin under her wing. Chiyo subsequently becomes a maiko, a geisha in training, and receives a new name, Sayuri. When Chiyo is 15, the other prominent geisha of Kyoto, Mameha (Michelle Yeoh), visits the Nitta Okiya to ask Mother to let her train Chiyo in the geisha arts.
She keeps the handkerchief that he gives her and visits a nearby shrine to pray to the deity for her to become a geisha and meet the Chairman again. The meeting leaves a deep impression on Chiyo. One day, on a bridge over the River Sunagawa, she encounters Chairman (Ken Watanabe), who, after seeing her crying, buys her a shaved ice cone. The narrator of the film, a much older version of Chiyo, informs the audience that she never saw her sister again. She learns that her parents are dead, and her sister has managed to escape. However, following a failed attempt to escape from the Okiya and flee somewhere else with her sister, Chiyo’s position in the Okiya is reverted to a maid again.

She finds a friend in Pumpkin (Youki Kudoh), a girl of her age, and an enemy in Hatsumomo (Gong Li), the sole active geisha of the Okiya and one of the two most prominent geisha of the city. Chiyo’s initial rebellious phase begins to wither away as she learns that there is little chance of finding her sister in the maze of tiled roofs that is the hanamachi. And Satsu is subsequently taken to a brothel.Ĭhiyo meets Kayoko “Mother” Nitta (Kaori Momoi), the current proprietor of the Okiya, and her predecessor, Grandmother (Kotoko Kawamura). After Auntie (Tsai Chin), one of the residents of the Nitta Okiya, sees both sisters, she only selects Chiyo. The two sisters are then taken to a hanamachi (the district where the geisha live and perform) in Kyoto.
