On June 18, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum opened the “Moomin Comic Strips Exhibition,” the comic book character created by Tove Jansson (1914-2001), one of Finland’s most renowned artists who was also a famous writer and cartoonist for both children and adults. First appearing on the UK daily Evening News in 1954, the Moomin comic strip ran for some 20 years. Ms. Jansson’s Moomin books have been translated into over 50 languages to date.
The “Moomin” exhibition features stories and comics never translated into Japanese, displaying a total of 280 or so works, including original drawings, sketches and episodes.
TFAM asks for the cooperation and patience of visitors as we continue to observe strict Covid safety protocols.
