Huis Ten Bosch and
Miffy 's Connection

In 1987, Dick Bruna, creator of Miffy, visited Nagasaki Dutch Village, the predecessor of Huis Ten Bosch, which led to a connection with Miffy. The original Miffy was then born, wearing a red scarf and yellow wooden shoes and holding a Dutch flag. It has now become an integral part of Huis Ten Bosch.
