Behind the scenes
Zhang Ziyi on the set of Memoirs of a Geisha. The first picture is from the American River set at Pilot Hill, where they were filming the chapters when Sayuri left the geisha district during WW2, to work at Mr. Arashinos' family workshop. In the second picture she is with Michelle Yeoh and director Rob Marshall, and they are working on the scene when Sayuri is to be cut on her leg, so she has an excuse to visit Dr. Crab. From the book
"You must place the cut exactly there", Mameha said to the cook.
I opened my mouth, but before I could even speak, Mameha told me, "Just lie down and be quiet Sayuri. If you slow us down any further, I'm going to be very angry."
I'd be lying if I said I wanted to obey her; but of course, I had no choice. So I lay down on a sheet spread out on the wooden floor and closed my eyes while Mameha pulled up my robe until I was exposed almost to the hip.
"Remember that if the cut needs to be deeper, you can always do it again," Mameha said. "Start with the shallowest cut you can make."

These pictures show the family hut in the fishing village where Chiyo grew up. We probably won't see Ziyi in these scenes as young Chiyo will be played by Suzuka Ohgo. The set is located at the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve in San Mateo, CA.
