Warm laughter, the everyday lives of ordinary children, and a constant focus on "SF - a little mystery." Fujiko F. Fujio (real name: Fujimoto Hiroshi) continued to create manga that brought a smile to the hearts of readers. Dreams, hope, friendship, courage, great curiosity. And the kind heart of loving others... This museum will continue to convey these feelings to the present... and into the future.

Fujiko F. Fujio, who lived in Tama ward, Kawasaki City for many years and continued to draw numerous manga for children, had a deep connection with Kawasaki City, including being awarded the Kawasaki City Cultural Award. The museum project was born from Fujiko F. Fujio's wife's desire to "give back to the children who supported Fujimoto's work," and it was born as a cultural facility that conveys the world and message of Fujiko F. Fujio's works to a wide range of generations through his original drawings and other materials.
