Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sazae-san is a certified Japanese 'intangible cultural property' — the anime equivalent of being a UNESCO site, but with more squabbling over miso soup.
Creator Machiko Hasegawa was one of Japan's first female manga millionaires; she retired in 1974 and lived as a recluse while her creation outlived her by decades.
