Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who does Auntie say pays for the clothes on your back and the rice in your bowl?

Answer: Hatsumomo

 Mother may own the house that the Geisha live in, but it is the geisha who bring in the money. Hatsomomo is the only working geisha there at this point in the film. Hatsomomo is well known for her beauty, but as beautiful as she is, she is no one's fool.
2. Hatsumomo has a boyfriend, until Mother puts a stop to her seeing him. What is Hatsumomo's boyfriend called?

Answer: Koichi

 "Hatsumomo loved once", but Mother puts a stop to it, after reminding her that a "Geisha is not free to love." Koichi also tells Hatsumomo that they can't meet up anymore, as it is "degrading". They can only share in stolen moments together. Koichi is a young, good looking man who does indeed love Hatsomomo, but cannot deal with the fact that they can never truly be together.
3. What does Mother tell Sayuri (Chio) that she has too much of in her eyes?

Answer: Water

 Sayuri's most striking feature is her eyes, which are very light blue/grey in colour, which is highly unusual in Japanese genetics. Mother takes this as a sign there is too much water in them. Sayuri is a very beautiful girl with a lovely, kind, nature. However, she also sticks up for herself when pushed too far. Hatsomomo is very very jealous of her.
4. Whose Kimono does Hatsumomo encourage Sayuri to ruin with ink?

Answer: Mameha

 Hatsumomo and Korin bribe Mameha's maid into giving them one of Mameha's kimonos. Hatsumomo tells Sayuri that her sister came by, looking for her, and says that if Sayuri swears herself to her, she will tell her where her sister is now living. She uses this in order to get Sayuri to ruin the Kimono. Mameha is another well known beautiful geisha. But, she has a kind, gentle heart, unlike Hatsumomo. Mameha is Hatsumomo's biggest rival, apart from Sayuri!
5. A kind stranger comes across Sayuri sitting on a bridge looking sad, and offers to buy her a cup of sweet cherry ice. Who is this person?

Answer: The Chairman

 This is the first encounter Sayuri has with the Chairman. She never forgets his kindness, and when she sees him with geisha, she then realises that to see him again, this is what she will have to become. The Chairman is trapped in an arranged marriage, so he seeks the company of geishas. He is a very kind man who has children of his own.
6. Mameha becomes Sayuri's adopted, big sister. The older sisters aid the training of apprentice geishas. Whilst Mameha is trying to generate male interest in Sayuri, Hatsumomo does her best to sabotage this. They attend a sumo wrestling match when Hatsumomo appears with Korin. Who does Mameha tell Sayuri to quickly turn her attention to?

Answer: Nobu

 Nobu is badly scarred on his face, from an accident. Mameha knows that Hatsumomo will not try to steal Nobu away from Sayuri because he repulses her. This is why she tells Sayuri to divert her attention. Nobu is actually a kind hearted man, but he has a jealous nature.
7. There is a war during the film. Sayuri is moved to a safe village, and is there for four years. Someone finally comes to ask her to return. During this, Sayuri learns that one of the businessmen has died. Who is the person that has died?

Answer: The Baron

 It is Nobu who turns up and asks Sayuri to return. Sayuri asks what has happened to everyone, to which he replies that the Baron killed himself due to his businesses getting bombed, which left him with nothing. The Baron is a man who is used to getting what he wants and almost ruins Sayuri's chance of becoming a successful Geisha, when lust overcomes him.
8. Mother adopts a daughter to be heiress of the house. Who is this person?

Answer: Sayuri

 This is what Mameha wanted to achieve when she took on Sayuri as her sister. Hatsumomo takes the news very badly, and as a result, the house ends up catching fire. Hatsumomo then leaves the house forever. Interestingly enough, Sayuri actually feels sorry for her and says, "That could have been me."
9. Sayuri asks Pumpkin to bring Nobu to a certain spot at a precise time. This is because Sayuri is desperate to get Nobu to become uninterested in her and has a plan in motion. Who does Pumpkin bring to the designated spot?

Answer: The Chairman

 Sayuri wants Nobu to catch her with another man, but is not prepared to go any further than kissing the man, and this is why she wants Pumpkin to be dead on time. Pumpkin secretly knows that Sayuri's heart belongs to the Chairman so, as an act of revenge, brings the Chairman instead. This is revenge for becoming Mother's adopted daughter instead of her.
10. Who becomes Sayuri's 'patron' in the end?

Answer: The Chairman

 Sayuri's dreams and hopes have not been in vain. She finally gets the man she has desired for so long.
