The style of the work is as follows.」（Kamada）

In "Makeup," the models' attractiveness was elevated by incorporating the trends of the younger generation and creating smooth, luminous, and light skin. In addition, to match the image of the kimono, we expressed the kimono artist's individuality through makeup variations such as 'Romantic Makeup' with pink blush and 'Modern Makeup' with deep, brightly colored lips as the key points."
