翻訳者レビュー ( 日本語 → 英語 )

日本語

戦線日本においては農村部だけでなく都市部においても、大多数の農家は薪を自給していた。１９５０年代前半まで薪の総消費量のおよそ８５％は自給であった。都市部の一般家庭では、商人を通じて薪を購入していた。木炭は製法の違いによって白炭と黒炭とに分けられる。白炭は着火は遅いが火力が強く長持ちするため暖房用に使われた。後者は着火は早いが火力が弱く火持ちも悪いため炊事用に使われた。明治から全国各地で行われた家計消費データを調査することで、家庭用エネルギーの歴史的消費推計を得ることができる。

英語

Before 1945, not only in village but also in city, most farmers produced firewood by themselves.
Until the first half of 1950, about 85 percent of total firewood consumed was produced by themselves.

Families in cities used to purchase firewood through merchant.
By difference of charcoal, it is classified into white and black.
The white one is late in catching fire but it lasts long time, so it was used for warming the house.
The black one is fast to catch fire, but its power is weak and it lasted short time, so it was used for cooking.

By researching consumption data of household account that has been carried out since Meiji Era across the nation, we can estimate consumption of energy used at home in history.
