JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this paper is to clarify the original text of “Keizaishogaku Kaseiyoshi” translated by Nagamine Hideki and to compare the translation with the original text in detail so as to interpret how it was translated by Nagamine Hideki.
The results are as follows :
The original of “Keizaishogaku Kaseiyoshi” is Mrs. E. F. Haskell's “The Housekeeper's Encyclopedia” published in New York by D. Appleton & Co. in 1860. The original had 424 pages, and it included many areas of home life with descriptions about cooking making up more than 60%. Incorporated into “Keizaishogaku Kaseiyoshi” was no more than 40 pages or less than 10% of the original text. Abundant-ly translated are the chapters referring to nutrition, food, infancy, husbands, and preface. On the other hand, the original was translated less in the chapters on servants, housing, clothing, and remedies. This may be due to the translator's intention of choosing household ideologies and contents that were both desirable and practicable in early Meiji era as well as in view of the cultural differences between Japan and America of the time. It is understandable that the translator named his publication “Kaseiyoshi” (Yoshi meaning principal point).View full abstractDownload PDF (2689K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn Japan the concept of the corporate culture has been used as a method of business management. However, recently this concept has been criticized for benefiting only the business-side and for lacking understanding concerning the development of humanity of workers. The corporate culture in Japan is characterized by the stereotype of the gender-role. It was one of the main reasons for the authors to use the gender-role analysis in this study.
The aims of this paper are 1) to describe how the corporate culture regulates the livelihood culture, 2) to contrast the corporate culture with the livelihood culture by gender-role analysis, and 3) to clarify the concept of the livelihood culure from the viewpoint of Japanese Home Economics.
The authors' findings were as follows : 1) There was a close relationship between the two cultures, 2) the Japanese corporate culture reproduced the stereotype of gender-role, 3) the “livelihood culure” should play the role of a counter culture to keep in check the corporate culture in Japan.View full abstractDownload PDF (1816K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study aims at clarifying by cross-section data how the number of children influences the expenditure behavior of expenses for education in a household.
The major findings of this study are as follows :
1) As the number of children increases in a household, the expenses for education per capita decreases in households of the same income level and with the household head of the same age.
2) The income elasticity of education expenses shows a tendency to decrease as the number of children in a household increases.
3) The expenditure behavior of education expenses in households of the upper income bracket is different from that in households of the lower income bracket. In both income brackets, the income elasticity decreases while the number of children dummy parameter increases in accordance with the increase in the number of children. This tendency is more marked in the lower income bracket. In other words, it is shown that larger expenses are spent for education in lower income households with fewer children.View full abstractDownload PDF (1091K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effects and their temperature dependence of adding sucrose on the rheological properties of agar and κ -carrageenan gels were investigated.
The addition of sucrose resulted in increases in the storage modulus, loss modulus, rupture stress and rupture energy of both gels.
The network structure observed through an electron microscope showed that the addition of sucrose refined the structure of both gels.
The onset of decreased viscoelasticity was shifted to a higher temperature by adding sucrose to both gels, although this effect was stronger with κ-carrageenan than with agar. Increasing temperature resulted in a decrease in the rupture stress and rupture energy of both gels; however, in the range of temperature from 10 to 25°C, both the rupture stress and rupture energy were almost constant after adding sucrose to the κ-carrageenan gel.View full abstractDownload PDF (1311K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe actual condition of entertainment in marriage ceremonies from the Meiji to the early Showa era in Kagawa area was investigated by the data of the composition of materials in a meal set in the marriage ceremonies. Formalities of the meal set in the marriage ceremony were classified into two to seven ranks depending on the social rank of the guests. The distinction of the meal sets can be recognized from several viewpoints of composition of a meal set, foods and cooking methods etc. as follows : 1) Whether or not the meal set had four principal parts consisting of a formal meal set, 2) the number of courses of dishes in the meal set, 3) the number of dishes and food products contained in the course, 4) kind of dishes, and 5) kind of food products. Also, with respect to the same kind of food product, the rank of the meal set was determined according to the levels of difficulty of processing methods required for the dishes, the price, the size and weight of the portions, cutting techniques and various other quantitative and qualitative aspects.View full abstractDownload PDF (1802K) -
Estimation of Body Form Factor for Developing Trunk Surface (Part 2)Tomoe MASUDA, Haruki IMAOKA1996 Volume 47 Issue 4 Pages 343-355

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFifty tight-fitting patterns of the front bodice (T) were made by draping on the replicas of female trunks using sheeting. The front surface of each replica was divided into ten blocks by standard lines, and the blocks were traced. The gap lengths on each side of the blocks of T were compared with those of the front surface development patterns (D) made from the same replicas. The gap lengths of T were calculated by subtracting the side lengths of the body surfaces (B) from those of T; and the gap lengths of D were measured on the side of D. On T, most of the gaps were positive, as were those on D, showing that the side lengths of blocks on T were longer than those of B. However, on the sides of the center front and the front shoulder blocks of T covering the concave parts of the trunk, the gaps were negative. Therefore, the area of the center front blocks of T was smaller than that of D; and the curvature of the shoulder lines of T was more gradual than that of D. In order to construct a T, which fitted each individual without draping but by drafting, it was necessary to add positive and negative gap lengths to the side lengths of blocks on B which conformed to the body's concave and convex surfaces.View full abstractDownload PDF (1932K) -
Basic Study in Shoe Design for Toddlers (Part 1)Etsuko KIOKA, Yuki MORI, Sachiko FURUTA, Hisa TAKAMORI, Akiko SUZUKI, ...1996 Volume 47 Issue 4 Pages 357-368

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe suitability of shoes is thought to be of primary importance for toddling children. To collect basic information necessary for proper shoe design for toddlers, we conducted a 2-year study on the form and growth of the foot using 207 toddlers as subjects. Four foot measurings were conducted in the first year at 4-month intervals, beginning from November, 1991, and a fifth measuring was done 1 year later, in November, 1992. The measured items included length and breadth of the foot, ball joint girth, instep height, ankle girth, as well as stature and weight. Of the 207 subjects, 80 were measured all five times, with the total number of subjects throughout the 2-year period totalling 778.
As a result of the measurings, it was determined that the measured parts of the foot vary in their rate of growth. A particularly interesting finding was that the instep height showed no growth during the 2 years. Therefore special consideration must be paid to this part of the foot when designing infants' shoes.
By means of cluster analysis, the 778 subjects were classified as follows : lower in instep height; smaller in ball joint girth, in comparison with physical constitution; and larger in instep height and ball joint girth.View full abstractDownload PDF (1355K) -
