壱
What is documented, and what is not
昭和歳時記 — romanized Shōwa Saijiki — is a 1993 book by Akira Yoshimura (吉村昭, 1927–2006), illustrated by Tsutomu Nagata (永田力). kongCast renders it descriptively in English as "A Shōwa Almanac"; this is our own phrasing, not a published title.
Per the publisher's and National Diet Library's catalogue descriptions, the book gathers Yoshimura's memories of ordinary life in downtown Tokyo — he grew up in Nippori, in Arakawa — during the prewar and wartime Shōwa years: the small, recurring things of a household and a season, returning through memory.
evidence boundarykongCast has not read or verified the book's body against a physical or licensed edition. No sentence, chapter or page of the text is quoted on this station — only what publisher and catalogue records state about it.
昭和歳時記——羅馬字轉寫為 Shōwa Saijiki——是吉村昭（1927–2006）於1993年寫成的書，由永田力配圖。kongCast 意譯為英文 "A Shōwa Almanac"，此為本站自訂之說法，並非正式書名。
依出版社與國立國會圖書館書目所載，本書收錄吉村昭對東京市區日常生活的記憶——他成長於荒川區日暮里——時代背景為昭和前期與戰時：一個家庭、一個季節裡反覆出現的細小事物，隨記憶重返。

kongCast's reading
If there is a meaning here, it may be small: an ordinary life, once written down, can be handed forward by people who never met each other — an author, a paperback, a commentator, a cataloguer — until it reaches a reader again. This is an interpretation, not a fact in the record. 如果其中有意義，或許很小：一段日常生活一經寫下，便能經由彼此素未謀面的人——作者、文庫本、解說者、編目者——被傳遞下去，直到再度抵達一位讀者。這是一種解讀，而非記錄中的事實。
