She is kabuki based.

Both explicitly from the creators, and to the eye of anyone who actually knows what a geisha or a kabuki actor look like. This is a Geisha in typical makeup. This is an example of Kabuki makeup. (Kabuki makeup varies from less elaborate than standard Geisha makeup, to far more baroque than this example - but this one happens to resemble Windblade's facepaint.)

While her head-crest evokes the shape of modern geisha hairstyles, that's because Geisha still wear old-school hairstyles that have mostly gone out of fashion, even in formal, traditional garb. Although the same type of hairstyle still shows up on...wait for it...kabuki actors, and in other period pieces.
