Japanese Artist Crochets Yarn Into Sushi, Ramen, Omurice And More
Japanese artist Chamu, known online as @okame_amimono, has been delighting the internet with her unique art form called “Amigurume”—a playful blend of “amigurumi” (the Japanese art of crocheting small creatures) and gourmet cuisine. Chamu transforms colourful yarn into stunningly detailed dishes such as udon, ramen, sushi, gyoza, and omurice.
But her creations are more than just charming replicas. With impressive craftsmanship, Chamu turns noodles into shoulder bags, sushi into coin cases, and fluffy omelette rice into practical pouches. Each piece captures the essence of these popular Japanese foods, blending whimsical artistry with functionality.

Chamu’s work is a testament to the creative possibilities of crochet. Her pieces invite us to see everyday objects differently—to imagine a world where our favourite foods are stitched together with warmth and creativity, possibly even extending to other objects. “These days, I think there’s nothing I can’t make with crochet. Maybe this world is not made of knitting, but that makes me imagine,” she says.
