Every year, before he heads south for the winter, Snufkin leaves Moomin a spring letter, promising him a reunion in the spring. Novel “Winter in Moominvalley”
(1958), Moomin wakes up in the middle of hibernation. Moomin finds Snufkin’s letter in its usual place, on a shelf in the living room of Moomin House, and reads it over and over again. He reads the message out loud, almost as if singing it, to dispel the silence of the sleeping home.
In the illustration on the mug, the snow has already melted and tulips and daffodils are starting to bloom, lured by the bright sun – along with Moomin and Snoke. The main character of this mug, Snufkin, is depicted on the back.
Snufkin’s return to Moominvalley from his winter wanderings is a sign of the arrival of spring, and is a long-awaited event, especially for Moomin. Moomin can also spend time with his best friend.
*Tove Jansson’s watercolor Snufkin*
For the new mug illustration, Tove Slotte has repainted Snufkin based on Tove Jansson’s original watercolor painting and added a flower to the hat. This watercolor painting is based on the Moomin song collection “Visor” published in Swedish in 1993.
