Our father suffered from dementia. My brothers and I are close, and we nursed him till the end.

Touched by my daughter's natural will to always move forward, I felt like flying into the face of the future.

103 years old !!

A picture from the Gatalympics in Saga Prefecture. A man and his daughter refuse to give up: a picture of true spirit.

Selfie sticks are a big fad. Here's one shot I like, full of blue skies and smiling faces.

We went on a mountain hike in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture and brought grilled sweet potatoes to eat at the summit. Here, we finally got to eat them! My wife is really going at it. This has got my sons laughing while making their best efforts to get in on the potato. And I’m struggling with the camera. That’s our family

Autumn by the seaside. A narrow escape：we made it without getting wet.

Our son's nickname is "Rabbit." He was really excited about meeting his first deer at Nara Park.

Our daughter's first trip to the beach. As you can see, she's takes after her mother who loves the ocean.

Our daughter was born just a month ago. Here, my mother and wife are working together to reassure her. Our first child, my mother's first grandchild: all the more cute.

Playing peek-a-boo with Dad. Such a wonderful moment.

In a show of gratitude towards Mom, Father and daughter struggle to make her a spaghetti dinner.

The photographer was a little green, but did his best to get a shot of his father and younger sister, dressed up for the Shichigosan festival. His photographs were a bit blurry, but got us the biggest smiles of the day.

One pair of Oyako who really get along. Here we're having fun running smart phone apps.

The whole family likes planes. We had to wait for one to pass overhead to get this picture. We waited and waited but the plane wouldn't come. This was the best we could do: at least we all look happy.

There was a book in this log house, and they started reading it. Both father and daughter love books.

Getting ready for the Shichigosan Festival. Here were adjusting the length of my son's kimono. It's the same "first kimono" that his father wore to this same festival when he was young. It is full of memories that we'd like to pass on to our son.

And suddenly we were all asleep.

These two are really close. Anyway, my daughter and I have our own secrets together... I hid behind the cherry tree to get their photo.

With my mother and Mount Fuji in the background, I felt it was time for an all out dash.
