The Moomins are characters in a cartoon series developed by Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson, and they've become quite popular here in Japan. A special event at Shiga's Sagawa Art Museum looks at over 280 drawings and sketches of this much-loved troll family, many of which haven't been seen in Japan before.
After the event in Shiga, the exhibition will move on to Ibaraki Prefecture's Museum of Modern Art from mid-January to mid-March 2021.
