Carved Wood Geisha Scene Identification Help

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

 

how is that a Geisha..?
looks like a gal with her laundry...

 

She is one of the Chinese 'Four Beauties':

yours look more beautiful, than hers...

 

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

Yes, that's her:

 

Happy Holidays to you too, Vesuvia.

 

Doh! Look at me with my Japanese assumptions! Thank you all! Xishi! I will start there! Cheers all!

 

I keep thinking she is playing cat's cradle.
