ソフィア・ヤンソン氏の受賞コメント "I feel deeply humbled by receiving the JFDA Award 2023, and the recognition for trying to bring Japan and Finland closer together through Tove Jansson’s literature and art. Were she alive, Tove Jansson would be very honoured that her expression has led to a fruitful cultural and commercial exchange between our countries. The continued interest in the Moomins still inspires many of our nations citizens to further their adventures and research into our respective cultures.”
