    Hello hello hello, all. I recently came by this pretty little wood carving of a Japanese Geisha in a floral arrangement. It has some Japanese (I assume) writing and appears to also have a signature as well. Can anyone tell me more about this piece? could it be modern? Vintage? And what might it say? I ran it through a few translate text apps, but couldn’t get a read. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you! And happy holidays :)

    Xishi, if I'm parsing the Chinese site correctly.

    Yes, that's her:
