 Some of the selfies make use of camera trickery

The grandma found her love of photography in old age after enrolling in a photography for beginner's course that was being taught by her own son.

But rather than pose in a flattering way, this selfie queen snaps herself in the most bizarre of settings.

Her photographs show her posing in hilarious costumes and situations.

One shows her pegged to a clothesline as if she's being pilloried in the stocks, with the caption: “Oh, well, could be worse".

 Disturbing... not all the selfies are lighthearted

However, others are somewhat macabre, downright bizarre and definitely not for the squeamish.

In one snap, she can be seen lying in the middle of the road as she seemingly gets run over by a truck. In another, she falls off her bike, while in other pics she's shown being stabbed in the head with a spade and wrapped in up in a plastic bag.

Posing as animals - including a gorilla and a frog - is also a recurring theme of Kimiko's.

She is displaying her work at Tokyo's Epson Espite Imaging Gallery, in an exhibition called Asobokane which translates to “let's play”.
