Our hearts! They're melting from the cuteness!

Emiko, who is prominently featured on her granddaughter Chinami Mori's account @1000wave, models Mori's vibrant creations to her 21.1k followers.

Using a technique called Saori, which mixes and matches an array of coloured yarns, strings and fabrics, Mori designs a range of vivid-coloured weavings and clothing that she gets her grandmother to don as she snaps her photo. Emiko became her granddaughter's muse after always appearing in the studio, watching Mori work.

And we couldn't think of a better model.

Emiko's happiness, as shown in the photos, is infectious. She gives the clothing such life and beauty through her comical poses and joyous laughs.

"She’s my favorite person in the whole world," Chinami tells Instagram in an interview. "I make grandma happy, and that’s just so much fun for me, too."

Looks like Baddie Winkle has some competition for best Instagrandma!
