Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum

Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum

The Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum (長谷川町子美術館 "Hasegawa Machiko Bijutsukan") 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 in Japan is comparable to 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.
