Finding peace in small moments, even when life feels anything but calm.

Welcome to Amyko Shumi — my cozy corner of the internet, born out of chaos, late nights, and a longing for something slower.

I grew up as the eldest in a family running a Chinese restaurant — where life IS loud, busy, and beautiful in its own way.

I started to find comfort in tiny things: cooking for myself, crafting with my hands, reading a few pages before the day began again. Those moments became my reset button — little rituals that reminded me who I was outside the chaos.

That’s how Amyko Shumi began.

“Shumi” (趣味) means hobby in Japanese — but to me, it’s more than that. It’s about pleasure in small things, personal rhythm, and tasteful living in simplicity. It’s about creating peace, even when life feels messy.

Here, I share reflections, cozy routines, books I love, and creative hobbies that make home feel like a sanctuary. This space isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. About remembering that even when the world feels overwhelming, there’s always a small joy waiting for us.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, tired, or quietly lost — I hope this space feels like a deep breath.

May you find peace, inspiration, and a bit of yourself here at Amyko Shumi.

With warmth,

Amy ♡
