| The film’s geisha district, or hanamachi, was built at a horse ranch in Ventura. Located near Los Angeles, the site offered mountainous vistas and 360° views of the surrounding valley. Over 14 weeks, a pasture was transformed into five blocks of cobblestone streets and alleyways. To help simulate the flat winter light of Kyoto, key grip Scott Robinson and his crew covered the enormous set with a retractable silk suspended from two freestanding trusses. | ||
