The purpose of this study is to clarify the feature of the movement of recording the household account as promoted by the Zenkoku Tomo-no-kai, a readers'club of Fujin-no-tomo magazine. This study also aims to reexamine the role of the movement by tracing the transition of the readers'lifestyle as well as what they sought in life. We examined (1) the contents of the magazine as well as the feature of the house-keeping book, (2) how the house-keeping book was promoted as well as what resulted in favor of improved household budget, and (3) readers'comments included some special feature articles on the house-keeping book. The examination found that the initial plan was to assist the club members in forming their household budget by offering the mean value and quantity of their housekeeping items. It was also found that the movement was meant to help its members draw up an ideal budget in the hope that a sound household would eventually contribute to forming a sound society. Then, the movement gradually shifted its stand and tried to assist its members to consider that their households were part of the entire social system. In other words, keeping household account helped its members deepen their understanding of social affairs. This understanding has led up to less dependence on outsourcing of various nature, which would help alleviate environmental disruption. In conclusion, it is safe to state that the act or habit of keeping household account as promoted by the Zenkoku Tomo-nokai of the magazine Fujin-no-tomo has helped the club members incorporate the social concept in themselves.

It is difficult to say why using household eco-account books, which are said to be very effective in reducing environmental impact, is not popular today. We believe that the reason for this lies in not only the design of the books, but also the attitude of the people who use them. In order to clarify this, we analyzed the background, the attitude, and the description of the books of twenty-one people who had been using the books for more than three years. The research showed that those who had been keeping these books were generally more than sixty years old and had a lot of free time. It also showed that they could be classified into four different groups. We named them as follows: “Nonbiri” are the members who use the books casually. “Kotsukotsu” use the books on a regular basis. “Waiwai” tend to work in groups, and “Takumi” thoroughly investigate the cause and are active in environmental investment. Of these groups, the people identified as members of Waiwai and Takumi had been using the books relatively longer than the other groups, and their books showed the effect of the reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide. As a result of our research, we came to the following conclusions: (1) It is important to understand that there are two stages, reducing energy on a day to day basis and reducing CO2 by environmental investment. (2) Book-keepers who would like to be part of “Takumi” should be identified. (3)Creating groups like “Waiwai“ should be encouraged.
