Sumikkogurashi(Life of corners) is the character series of Japanese stationery company San-X. Japanese people love corners. We want to secure the corner seats when we ride trains and when we go to surrounding cafes. These characters express such a Japanese national traits and are popular in a wide age group. In Japanese, 'coners' is called 'sumikko', and 'Gurashi' means 'life'.
