93 year old Jiji’s life suddenly got an intruder called Kinako the cat. Since the war ended, for decades, he communed to his office, but on 2009 he was sent to a hospital. Since then he have been suffered from alzheimer. The outgoing man gradually lost his interest in life and got grumpier than ever. It was around that time, that i brought back Kinako. Jiji is my actual grandfather. Who would have thought that a cat may become a new “buddy” to a now grumpy old man? The border between human and animals melts, just as shy Kinako melted Jiji's heart. My main goal is to bring a warm, peaceful feel to the people who see these images.
