Original Sazae-san Anime Cel

Sazae-san is a slice-of-life yonkoma work which centres around the dynamics of Sazae-san's family, both the family she was born into and the family she later starts with her husband Masuo. Most of the stories revolve around the slow pace of life in older Japan. Sazae is noted to be something of a rebel among her neighbours, as she is much more interested in being herself and having fun than dressing up in ‘proper’ womanly clothes and makeup, much to her mother’s chagrin. Sazae’s unladylike behaviour made her mother worry that she would never find a husband for herself, and even when she finally did marry and became a housewife, Sazae never hesitated to boss Masuo around, a constant point of consternation with her neighbours who thought that the man should be the head of the house. Sazae, of course, was having none of that.
