I am a make-up artist and an art director. I usually work with hair stylists and wardrobe stylists, which include a Kimono dresser, who dose special KITUSKE (putting on Kimonos, which are traditional clothes, on models by proper way). We create perfect images, and provide services with carefully paying attention to our client's needs and ideas. I do event organizing and casting as well.

Our specialty is Japanese style, using Kimonos (traditional clothes) and white make-up called SHIRONURI such as KABUKI (traditional stage play) and Geisha.
We have access to REAL Kimonos, beautiful paper umbrellas, and other accessories which are very authentic and are not easy to find and obtain locally. We do both, authentic style and creative fusion (mixed culture) style with Kimono! Especially I enjoy fusion by using authentic material. Any ideas to show mixed culture are always welcome!

As a make-up artist, I have been working with mostly photographers, models and clothing designers such as update portfolios, business / personal / family portraiture and designer's e-commerce sites / catalogues. Also I have been working for photography workshops, cultural events and fashion shows. I am confident to create from real clean natural look with impressive eyes to glamour / edgy look. On top of regular make-up, as I mentioned above, I have an unique make-up skill, which is Japanese style white make-up called SHIRONURI (means white painting). I have learned this make up in Japan. And I have been updating my skill by taking workshops whenever I have opportunities to travel to Japan. I and my team sometimes do demonstrations of the process of making Geisha and Maiko (apprentice of becoming Geisha), which include make-up, hair and costume, for cultural, local organizations and associations as well as photo workshops.

I am willing to travel to any locations as long as traveling cost is provided. My another passion is traveling in the world to meet other professionals and artists.

I am open to do TF as long as it is serious and is committed to benefit for all of participants.

I would like to get into more music videos and fashion shows this year, 2016! Message me if you need makeup!
