Finland is the ``land of forests and lakes'', a land of mysterious beauty in a harsh natural environment close to the Arctic Circle, which gave birth to the Moomin stories and world-famous modern design. The current state of this country, which has a serious and shy national character and the recent sauna boom, makes it somewhat familiar to Japanese people, is reported on with articles covering a wide range of themes and beautiful photographs.
Includes one bound postcard each featuring the island and the aurora borealis, photographed by Yoko Takahashi and Kenji Sato.

(The following is from the publisher information)
During long vacations, they get to know the forests and lakes, and spend time with their loved ones in the sauna. Finland, where people live like this, is sometimes called "the happiest country in the world." It is true that Japan can be cited as a model for the rest of the world in many ways, including the level of education and welfare it provides, and the high rate of women's participation in society. Not only that, but this country also produces world-renowned designs and masterpieces, from products by brands like Iittala and Marimekko to architecture by Alvar Aalto and others, to Moomin. Unique and modern ideas are born inspired by the country's vast forests, lakes, and other natural environments. On the other hand, looking at Finland's geopolitical environment, it cannot be said to be very fortunate, including the harsh climate of the Arctic Circle and a history of turmoil between Russia and Sweden. What is the ``happiness'' that the Finnish people have created by overcoming such adversity? I set out on a journey to experience their lifestyle and the richness of nature.
