MOOMIN MISCHIEVOUS NATURE (80th Anniversary Special Edition)

About the productJapanese

The first edition will be a hardcover version, followed by a softcover version, starting in 2022.
"MOOMIN MISCHIEVOUS NATURE", which has been well received, is being re-released to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the publication of the Moomin novels!

--A collection of works by Finnish painter, novelist, and author Tove Marika Jansson.
The book will feature approximately 500 pieces of artwork from all nine of the original Moomin novels, all in chronological order.

The Moomins first appeared in the novel "The Moomins and the Great Flood" (1945), written by the author towards the end of World War II. Since then, the novels and characters have been loved all over the world through the ages as the "Moomin series."

This book does not contain any written information, so from the works alone you can learn about the characters who appear in the Moomin stories and their adventures, as well as Jansson's abundant talent and career as an illustrator.
The title "MISCHIEVOUS NATURE" represents the quirky, mischievous, and adorable behavior of the characters, as well as the worldview that depicts the abundant nature that permeates the story.

There are a lot of things in this world that have no place in summer, autumn or spring. They're all a little shy, a little odd.
Some kind of nocturnal animal, someone who doesn't fit in with everyone else, some creature that nobody believes exists.
They hide all year round so as not to be a nuisance, and then they emerge when it is quiet and still, when everything is white with snow, when the nights are long, and when everyone is asleep for the winter.
-Tove Jansson
