Japanese saga "Memoirs of a Geisha" was voted the most visually stunning movie of the year, garnering three Oscars for costume design, art direction and cinematography.

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" won for best makeup.

"Memoirs of a Geisha," an Academy Award-winning film adaptation of the novel, directed by Rob Marshall and starring Zhang Ziyi, was released in 2005.

On a recent visit to Tokyo to promote "Memoirs of a Geisha," Zhang Ziyi received a mysterious parcel and letter, revealed to have been sent by an elderly Japanese woman who had once worked as a geisha, The Star Online reported.

In her letter, the woman stated that she had been touched by the trailer of "Memoirs of a Geisha," and expected the movie to bring back fond memories for her and her friends. Inside the parcel were several exquisitely worked antique kimono.

Zhang Ziyi was moved to tears by the gesture and sent the woman an invitation to "Memoirs of a Geisha" Japanese premiere.
