Snufkin is one of the most beloved characters from the Moomin stories, created by Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson. Known for his nomadic lifestyle, philosophical outlook, and love for music (his harmonica) and freedom, Snufkin has a massive cult following, especially in Japan.
This specific piece is licensed by Moomin Characters / Bulls / TX / TS, which indicates it was produced for the Japanese market during the 1990s anime revival of the series (Tanoshii Muumin Ikka).
