Misao and Fukumaru.

12 years ago, Japanese photographer, Miyoko Ihara (伊原　美代子) started to take photographs of her grandmother, Misao.

“Under the sun, everyday is a good day. Another good day, Fukumaru”, Misao. Eight years ago, Misao found a odd-eyed kitten in the shed. She named the cat “Fukumaru” in hope that “God of fuku” (good fortune) comes and everything will be smoothed like a “maru” (circle)”.
