The 1980s TV show Oshin was a rare Asian global blockbuster that had a lasting cultural impact.
Much of that was down to Ms Hashida's skilled writing. She was known for her sharp observations about household life in the numerous family TV dramas she penned, especially when it came to female relationships.
Oshin's story arc as a working woman also echoed Ms Hashida's own journey. After WW2, she joined a major film studio as a scriptwriter, but quit when the company tried to turn her into a secretary. She eventually succeeded as a TV scriptwriter after years of rejections. In Thailand, cabinet meetings were reportedly rescheduled so that they did not clash with the broadcast of episodes. A Bangkok newspaper also saw its circulation go up by 70% after publishing a weekly synopsis of the show.
