The line chart demonstrates the amount of average salary per month in Japan, as well as depicting the changes in the prices of two different types of TV—colored and black&white—between 1953 and 1973. The units are measured in Yen.
Overall, there was an exponential increase in the amount of salary received by the Japanese over the period, substantially improving their purchasing power of TVs. By contrast, the prices of both types of TVs witnessed a marked drop, with the colored TV still being more expensive than the other despite its more dramatic decline.
The amount of salary paid per month in Japan amounted to roughly 30 yen in the initial year, which was not sufficient to purchase a black&white TV. Thereafter, however, this figure witnessed a six-fold jump to a peak of 180 yen in 1973, significantly enhancing possibilities to purchase any kind of TV for a month's earnings.
The costs of TVs, meanwhile, dropped for both kinds, albeit to varying degrees. Black&white TVs started at 100 yen in 1953, but this amount saw a steady decline until 1968 to 40 yen, before a final negligible drop lowered the price by a few more yens. The sales of the second type of TV—colored—were initiated in 1958, at the cost of a hefty 180 yen. After plummeting to approximately 110 yen in 1963, the price was further depressed but more gradually to about 90 yen, still maintaining a noticeable gap in comparison with black&white TVs.
