Nuuskamuikkunen/Snufkin

Every Autumn, usually in November, Snufkin heads south for the winter. Snufkin likes travelling around the world and he loves to see new places and meet new people. But with every spring he returns to Moominvalley in Finland to spent the summer with the Moomins and especially with his friend Moomintroll.

This winter Snufkin explores Japan. He has heard, that Japanese people love Moomin characters and he can hopefully make some new friends in Japan. But please help him to return to Moominvalley (Naantali, Finland) for the next spring

Nuuskamuikkunen pitää matkustamisesta. Joka syksy, marraskuussa, hän jättää Muumilaakson ja suuntaa etelään. Sinne missä kasvaa appelsiineja. Tänä talvena Nuuskamuikkunen tutustuu Japaniin, mutta kevään tullen hän palaa jälleen Muumilaaksoon.

You have found Snufkin. Snufkin is one of the charecters in the Moomin books written by Tove Jansson. Snufkin is a philosophical vagabond who wanders the world fishing and playing the harmonica. He carries everything he needs in his backpack, as he believes that having too much stuff makes life overly complicated. He always comes and goes as he pleases. 

Snufkin has many friends in Moominvalley: Moomintroll is his best friend and Little My is his half sister. He enjoys spending time with the Moomins in Moominvalley, but in November he always goes south for the winter, only returning to Moominvalley in the spring.

The enigmatic Snufkin does not avoid other people’s company, but he does prefer to travel alone. On his journeys, he explores new places and tries his luck at fishing. Snufkin loves to go wandering at night and especially in the moonlight. He never asks the names of the new places he visits, but simply enjoys the journey itself.

This winter Snufkin explores Japan. He has heard, that Japanese people love Moomin characters and he can hopefully make some new friends in Japan. But please help him to return to Moominvalley (Naantali, Finland) for the next spring.
