Sumikko Gurashi x KIT BOX Kotobukiya Cafe (Permanently Closed)
Corner creatures jump out of the corner
People who are interested in Japanese cartoon dolls may be familiar with this group of small creatures. It is related to the popular character of San-X, the corner creatures. I thought I was hiding in the corner so I narrowed my eyes and attracted many fans! Recently, Naka cooperated with KITBOX -KOTOBUKIYA CAFE & DINER- to launch a limited-time cafe "Corner Cafe"（喫茶すみっコ）at Tachikawa, Tokyo.

As soon as you get in, you can see the big cardboard with corner creatures that can be punched in and out. There are many cute corner creatures in the restaurant. In addition to the cute appearance of small creatures on the murals and chandeliers, there are big dolls to accompany you to eat in some places . This time, Cafe launched a total of 6 cooperative meals and drinks, which will be designed with biological characteristics, such as cats with canned cats and tuna fish rice, which is very interesting. The cuteness of other creatures, of course, you have to eat first!

Lack of self-confidence is a characteristic of most Sumikko Gurashi.
For example, Tonkatsu is not strictly pork chops, the leftover oil residue from fried pork cutlet.
Ebifurai No Shippo is the tempura shrimp tail that is spit out.
Both are not friends because they are disgusted and not confident, so they become friends;
Those who have not been foraged, Tapioca Pearls (left over from a cup of milk tea), are described as lazy and negative guys,
Black Tapioca is rare the temperament is weird.
The creatures derived from leftover food and food residues are metaphorically a kind of abandoned sorrow.
Among Sumikko Gurashi, Zassou (a shrub of weeds) and Yama (a small white-and-blue mountain) are more active.
They all have longing for the object. The former yearns for the flower, and the latter yearns for the Mount Fuji.
They are transformed into the perfect incarnation in one day.
For this reason, they are willing to go to the crowd, eager to be selected in the flowers of the flower shop, soaking in the hot springs. I was mistaken for Mt. Fuji. Even though I lost every time, I still smiled and continued to move toward the turbulent core. This kind of activism is as if it is why they are popular in Japan because of this and the current society in Japan. The structure and the status of the Tudor are very similar.

The character of the Sumikko Gurashi series is very different from the character setting of San-X in the past.
This difference comes from the creation of Sumikko Gurashi reflecting multiple
Tudor philosophy: imperfection, edge, camouflage, alienation, etc., cut into the imperfections of Sumikko Gurashi.
Point, point out the qualities that are internalized.
Therefore, they are especially popular with the city people.
Thousands of people can be substituted into the thinking of any corner creature member at any time, looking for the comfort of the corner,
or the quiet atmosphere of the partner,thinking about those embarrassments, it is everyone the root of the unique essence.
