A Japanese photographer's ode to her grandmother and her cat
This is the life I want to live when I am 87 like her. The most wonderful quote from the photographer, Ihara Miyoko, is this:
“Partly because they are both hard of hearing, my grandmother and Fukumaru are always looking into each other’s eyes. They’re really close... Fukumaru is so happy and contented at my grandmother’s side. When I take a picture of the two of them together it’s like I’m photographing myself as a little girl.”
