Sumikko Gurashi

Sumikko Gurashi is a group of adorable characters created by San-X in Japan. The name means “living in the corner” — “Sumikko” (すみっこ) means "corner," and “Gurashi” (ぐらし) means "life" or "living." These shy and quirky characters find comfort in corners and prefer staying out of the spotlight, which reflects the feeling many people have of wanting a quiet, safe space.
