Sazae-san (サザエさん) is a Japanese comic strip created by Machiko Hasegawa. It was first published in Hasegawa’s local paper the Fukunichi Shinbun (フクニチ新聞) on April 22 1946. When the Asahi Shinbun wished to have Hasegawa draw the comic strip for their paper she moved to Tokyo in 1949 with the explanation that the main characters had moved from Kyūshū to Tokyo as well. The comic dealt with contemporary situations in Tokyo until Hasegawa retired and ended the comic on February 21 1974.
