A large notebook with plain pages featuring adorable Sumikko Gurashi characters reading a story!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25.3 x 18cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSumikko Gurashi (すみっコぐらし) is a set of fictional characters produced by the Japanese company San-X. The name directly translates to \"life in the corner\", and all the characters have an affinity for corners, such as the corner seat of a café or the corner of a room. The characters are anthropomorphised animals and food items, split into Sumikko the main characters, and Minikko the smaller side characters. The main Sumikko characters have common traits: they have a slightly negative personality, they are castaways in everyday life, and they feel most relaxed when they are near a corner. These include Shirokuma, a polar bear who dislikes the cold, Penguin? who is unsure of being a penguin, Tonkatsu, a piece of leftover pork cutlet, Neko, a timid and anxious cat, and Tokage a dinosaur who pretends to be a lizard. In contrast, some of the Minikko characters have a more positive outlook, including Furoshiki a polka dot furoshiki cloth, Ebifurai No Shippo, Tonkatsu's friend who is a leftover tail of a fried shrimp, Zassou a weed with a positive attitude, Obake, a small ghost who enjoys cleaning and Tapioca who is multi-coloured leftover tapioca pearls. The characters were created by Yuri Yokomizo, a graphic designer working for San-X, and the first products were released in 2012. Their main inspiration was the feeling of comfort when one is near a corner, and they were based on Yokomizo's notebook doodles when she was a student. Three animated films with Sumikko Gurashi were released in 2019, 2021, and 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Code: NY44302.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"San-X","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55513247547768,"sku":"FA3-1","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/8574\/files\/San-X-Sumikko-Gurashi-Story-Time-Subject-Notebook.jpg?v=1774542154","url":"https:\/\/www.junioredition.com\/en-ie\/products\/sumikko-gurashi-story-time-subject-notebook-by-san-x","provider":"Junior Edition","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
