Japanese photographer Miyoko Ihara has been documenting the life of her grandmother, Misao, for 13 years now. She started photographing the series as a means of celebrating and capturing the life of a woman who inspired her.
8 years ago Misao took in a stray cat with different coloured eyes and called him Fukumaru. Friendship between the two blossomed and they are now inseparable, sharing their daily life. ”Partly because they are both hard of hearing, my grandmother and Fukumaru are always looking into each other’s eyes. They’re really close,” said Ihara.

I am always amazed at how some people have a charism for bonding with animals. My favourite pic was the one at the dinner table, lots of character!

It is indeed! I liked all the images. They are so inspiring and nice to see such love between a human and an animal and it really depicts humanity.
