A Moomin Museum Collection Comes to Japan

The limited Moomin collection "Winter Night Glow" is now on sale. It is based on original artwork by Tove Jansson held by the Moomin Museum in Tampere, Finland, and created for Moominvalley in Winter.

Moomin was created by Tove Jansson, a Finnish author, painter, and artist. The stories of Moomintroll and his companions have been translated and published in more than 50 countries. Goods, locations, and animation based on the original novels, comics, and picture books are loved not only in Finland but also in Japan and many other countries.

The collection was born in connection with "Moomin Mug Mania," a special exhibition at the Moomin Museum in Tampere that focuses on Moomin Arabia mugs.

The design motif is original artwork drawn for the cover of the 1972 French edition of Moominvalley in Winter. The artwork depicts Moomin, Morran, Too-Ticky, and other characters and scenes from the story within a single landscape.
