From 1946 until 1974, Hasegawa Machiko drew the comic strip "Sazae-san," about an ordinary Japanese family led by a good-natured mother and wife, Sazae. The strip was a huge sucess and for most of its run appeared daily in the Asahi Shimbun. While entirely original and thoroughly Japanese, "Sazae-san's" popularity and humor mirrored the American strip "Peanuts."

The museum entrance

The Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum (長谷川町子美術館, Hasegawa Machiko Bijutsukan) is an art museum in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan.[1]
