A stay in Scandinavia

Do you know the Moomins? They're friendly hippo-like trolls from a series of Finnish illustrated books from 1945. Their huge success meant they quickly become stars of the small screen in Japan, far from their native Finland. The cartoon was first broadcast in Japan in 1969, and the Japanese have loved the Moomins ever since. So much so that a Moomin theme park is opening near Tokyo in 2019.
