A Loving Tale of a Grandma and Her Odd-Eyed Cat


For the last 13 years, Japanese photographer Miyoko Ihara has been taking pictures of her grandma, Misao, to commemorate her life.

9 years ago, 88-year-old Misao found a stray odd-eyed cat in her shed.




She called it Fukumaru.
She was hopeful that �the god of fuku (good fortune) would come and everything will be smoothed over like maru (circle).�








Miyoko has been photographing the beautiful friendship between the grandma and the cat.
He has been capturing the way they go about their daily routine ever since.





The strong bond between the two glows in every shot.

Miyoko says that because they are both hard of hearing (the cat and grandmother), my grandmother and Fukumaru are always looking into each other�s eyes
.



They�re really close to each other.

In fact, Miyoko has recently published a hard cover photo album about them �Misao the Big Mama and Fukumaru the Cat�.
