The Essence of Finnish Design and Culture
The Essence of Finnish Design and Culture
~Mythology, Moomin, and People in the Wilderness~
The special exhibition – the Essence of Finnish Design and Culture-is now held at Utsunomiya Museum of Art.
What does Finland remind you? Moomin characters? Good designs of crafts? Santa Claus? Etc.
The exhibition shows you about 350 artworks, raging from paintings, architecture, crafts, to Moomin series.
What impressed me most were Marimekko textiles, which I thought symbolized the essence of Finnish lifestyle.
The exhibition has been traveling across Japan.
