This is a humorous if not hilarious collection of self portraits of herself dressed in various formal clothing for the "omiai shashin." "Omiai" means arranged matchmaking (usually by a relative or friend), and "shashin" is photograph. This formal portrait is distributed to potential candidates for marriage. If both parties like each other's photographs and resumes, the matchmaker arranges a meeting for the two.
See the sample images at her Web site and vote on which portrait you like best. Sawada is a master at costume disguises. She has a plump-looking face that is very malleable for creating a wide variety of faces and expressions. Various hairstyles and make-up also add a lot to her transformations.
