Quotes
Sayuri Nitta:
About your kimono...
Mameha:
There's no need to apoligize. I'm not foolish. Hatsumomo cannot tolerate competition.
Sayuri Nitta:
She is jealous of you?
Mameha:
Not me I'm afraid. Someone closer to home.
Goofs
When Hatsumomo and Pumpkin are leaving on the night of Pumpkin's debut, neither Mother nor Auntie spark flint on their backs. A Geisha would never leave her okiya without this act being performed as it was believed it brought good luck.
