About Moomin
Created by Finnish national artist and author Tove Jansson, the Moomin stories have been translated and published in over 50 countries. The tales of Moomin and his friends have captured hearts worldwide, with merchandise, attractions, and animations enjoyed not only in Finland but also in Japan and many other nations.
MOOMIN × FOSCA Sensu Collection
This collaboration blends the world of Moomin with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The fans are designed as sophisticated accessories for adults, adding a touch of elegance to kimono or suits.
Two designs are available: one featuring Moomin (Muumintroll) and another with Moomin and Snufkin. The fabric is finely woven, allowing for crisp, beautiful prints. The high-quality material offers a pleasant tactile sensation, and the fans are crafted with skilled artisan techniques, making them not just tools for cooling but also objects of beauty and luxury.
The thin fabric folds neatly and compactly, making it easy to store in a bag or pocket without taking up space.
The fans feature a high number of ribs (senkotsu), which increases durability and resistance to breakage. The number of ribs is referred to as “kensu,” ranging from 8 to 40. Generally, more ribs indicate higher quality and durability, and the closer spacing between ribs makes it easier to generate a breeze with light effort.
Each fan comes with a convenient carrying pouch and is shipped in a wooden box that helps regulate temperature.
Whether for personal use or as a gift for a loved one, these collaborative fans offer a refined way to enjoy a cool breeze and a graceful moment.
