Certified Teacher's Profiles
Eva Lalibert
- France -
I have a bachelor’s degree in Japanese Language, Literature and Culture and for as far as I can remember, I have always been interested in Asian garments and Japanese animation (without knowing it).
I encountered tsumami zaiku on my first trip to Japan in 2015 and had to wait until my third trip to Japan in 2018 to finally learn how to make tsumami zaiku, as I did not know what it was called.

I am a professional kimono dresser, photographer and makeup artist - with over 12 years of experience - working in New York City. I lived in Japan for nearly five years and graduated from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, where I began KiraKira Artistry LLC. At KiraKira Artistry LLC, I feel privileged to be able to share the beauty of kimono and tsumami kanzashi with my clients and colleagues. In my free time, I also have enjoyed learning the arts of wasai, temari, kotsuzumi and Nihon Buyo.

Ever since I was young I have loved Japanese pop culture, such as anime and manga. Japanese traditional clothing such as kimono and hakama always have special spot in my heart. One day I got the chance to buy a yukata, but then I realized something is missing… a hairpiece, kanzashi. I started researching the many types of kanzashi, and I fell in love with Tsumami Zaiku kanzashi. The intricate design, the meticulous process, the meanings behind every ornament, it’s just perfect!
