All of which were big hits in Japan.
The production company that made Memoirs of a Geisha (titled Sayuri in Japan) is Japanese-owned.
Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are bigger box office draws in Japan than any female Japanese lead.
The Last Samurai did a higher box office in Japan than it did in the US, and did better critically, too.
And as was stated, Kill Bill doesn't count.
