The Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum is an art museum in Setagaya, Tokyo Japan.
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 success 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. Hasegawa Machiko (1920-1992) was Japan's first successful female comic strip artist. This modest museum showcases original drawings, clay dolls and paintings. It is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Admission is ¥600(adults), ¥500(students ), ¥400(children).
The address is 1-30-6 Sakura-Shinmachi, Setagaya-ku.
