【CLIC Event Report】 Moomin Monogatari – Meeting the Chairman
Moomin Monogatari – Meeting the Chairman
On the 29th of October, CLIC held yet another successful joint chambers networking event, this time at the Embassy of Sweden. On this evening - the 8th of its kind - we welcomed Mr. Robert Hirst, Chairman of Moomin Monogatari Ltd., to speak about the popularity of the Moomin characters in Japan, as well as the events leading up to the creation of the theme park, Moomin Valley Park, which opened in March earlier this year.
After Hirst had taken us on a journey through the events leading up to the opening of the theme park, there was time for a brief Q&A, which delved further into the driving forces behind the idea of opening the theme park; the obstacles one might face when attempting to open a theme park in Japan; the possibility of cooperation between the park, the neighboring Metsä Village and other companies; and what the future has in store for Moomin Monogatari Ltd. and the park itself.
