“I personally believe that the very fact that children from all over the world read and enjoy Doraemon is a testament to the fact that children are children no matter where they are.”–Masako Fujimoto

Fujiko F. Fujio, creator of the cartoon character Doraemon, died in 1996, but his creation lives on.

On September 3, a museum on the outskirts of Tokyo will open.  It will have 50,000 Doraemon items, only 150 will be on permanent display.
