The image is a line graph with three lines representing "Monthly salary," "Colored TV," and "Black & White TV" over 5 points in time: 1953, 1958, 1963, 1968, and 1973. The Y-axis shows values from 0 to 200, at 20 unit intervals. Monthly salary is consistently high, beginning at around Y160 in 1953, increasing to nearly Y180 in 1958, dipping to Y160 in 1963, jumping to over Y180 in 1968, and reaching nearly Y200 in 1973. Colored TV starts at roughly Y40 in 1953, drops to around Y20 in 1958 and 1963, and then sharply rises to Y120 in 1968 and further to approximately Y160 in 1973. Black & White TV begins just below Y80 in 1953, descends to around Y60 in 1958, further decreases to roughly Y40 in 1963, and then significantly drops to nearly Y20 in both 1968 and 1973.

The given line graph illustrates the average monthly salary of Japanese people, as well as the cost of black, white and color televisions between 1953 and 1983.
Overall, it is clear that comparing the salary with the cost of TVs, even a black and white TV was a luxury for the common man in 1953. However, after two decades, even the color TV could be bought within one month’s salary.
In 1953, the price of black and white TV was 100,000 yen. The price dropped significantly to just half 50,000 yen by 1963, after which there was a moderate decrease in price and it reached approximately 30,000 yen by 1973. Colour TV appeared in the market in the late 1950s, with a cost of about 180,000 yen, but in the next four to five years the cost fell dramatically to about 110,000 yen.
Average monthly salary was a meager 30,000 yen in 1953, but rose considerably and reached 110,000 yen by 1968, after which there was a steep escalation and it reached about 180,000 yen by 1973.
