1. Why he couldn't pay ¥200($2)?

A value of ¥200 in 1904 and present

There are many reasons of increasing the prices that is called 『Inflation』. For example, weekly comic magazines are called 『Shounen Jump』which was ¥90 in 1970 but it's ¥270 now. We can say that it was the same reason against Umeko's surgery.

We'll show you some more details about it in below.

 

 

 

Consumer Price Index

The other hand, there are some stuff which decreased the prices. PC was about $2,400 in 1990 but you can get it about $800 in present if you don't care a feature. Consumer Price Index is indexed many kind of items and services that mixed up with the prices are increased, decreased and nothing changes. It show us general standards of prices that is how much you need it pay for an average living from the past to present. For example, if it's level called “100” in 2015, it is “33.2” at Hokkaido prefecture in 1970. That means if you buy something for $100 in 2015, you can buy the same things for $33.2 in 1970.

It is $33.2 in 1970 equals $100 in 2015. That means the economy grew that much and increased the prices. Now you can see an increasing prices with economy growth.

Now and then, we'll start to talk about how was the levels in 1904? We wish we could use the Consumer Price Index but it's not because that record started after 1970 and also there were different jobs, different life styles in 1904. It is hard to comparison a value of ¥1 between 1904 and present. At this time, we'd like to find out some “Keys” from some jobs pay in 1904. Elementary school teacher got ¥8〜9 as a starting pay and senior carpenter or expert engineer got about ¥20 a month. It is expected ¥1 in 1904 was about $200 in present.

Above references stated means the cost of surgery ¥200 for Umeko was about $40,000 in present. This is super expensive, isn't it?

Buy the way, around 20 years old people's savings average is about $4,500 in japan in present. but here is surprise thing. PFC Sugimoto's pay was ¥1.20 a month. That means about $240 a month. He earned $2,880 a year. It will take almost 14 years to earn for the surgery. I felt like give him a warm hug.

There were so much gaps between each jobs in 1904 more than now. For your information, First Lieutenant (O-2) Tsurumi got about $9,000 a month, also he got extra $800 a month if he lives in off base.

2. A value of the golds in 1904

f:id:OgdenMorro:20211206233802j:image

 

At beginning of this story, hidden golds were about 165 lb that Sugimoto had been heard from a prisoner.

According to the record, 1 ozt = ¥41.54 in 1897. That value is $8,308 in present which is about 20 million  dollars for 165 lb.

Sugimoto hasn't known, yet but Tujikata says 100 times more golds exist so actual hidden golds value is  about 2 billion dollars.

 

 

 

3. Summary

f:id:OgdenMorro:20211206233853j:image

 

¥200 is about $40,000 in 1904『Golden Kamuy』

There were so much gaps in a value of ¥1 between in 1904 and present. Sugimoto couldn't pay for $40,000 of surgery cost who is the man earns $2,880 a year.

That's why he has started to find out about 2 billion dollars  of golds and we can enjoy the world of 『Golden Kamuy』. We'd love to really appreciate to Mr.Satoru Noda. We expect you to learn some more about investment and better way of savings instead of joining the deadly fight of a scramble for the golds.

 

Thank you for reading our article. We really appreciate it!

 

 

P.S.

Do you remember that Sugimoto and his crew drunk a bunch of the bottles of beer in the restaurant?

Those beer call 『Resei Sapporo Beer』which is $38 of each.

You could see over 10 bottles on the table. Those costs were so much more than Sugimoto's pay.

I'd like to give him an another warm hug.
