This thesis aims to study at the narrative techniques and the use of symbols in the postwar female writer; Tsushima Yūko’s literary works. This thesis also aims to analyze the mother-child relationship in the following five literary works: Chōji , Hikari no Ryōbun , Yoru no Hikari ni Owarete , Mahiru e and Nara Repōto . The research shows that every period of Tsushima Yūko’s life influence her literary works. It effects the changes of her narrative techniques and the use of symbols in her works that are gradually changed. Firstly, the narrative techniques and the use of symbols in Chōji and Hikari no Ryōbun are used for presenting the image of a single mom character; a new type of mother whose character does not meet the social expectations. Secondly, after the death of her son, the narrative techniques and the use of symbols in Yoru no Hikari ni Owarete and Mahiru e are changed to use for consoling the mother who has lost her son and look back at herself to reconsider the relationship between herself and her mother. Finally, the narrative techniques and the use of symbols in Nara Repōto are different from other works. The son character is now a narrator in the story. There also are the modifications of Buddhist related to classical literature and the Buddhist symbols in this work to reflect the un-equality between male and female. From this research, the researcher comes to realize about the social expectations towards Japanese women after the WW II period. It is obviously seen that the writer try to present the image of the independent mother who has her own free will and raise her child to become an individual who has feeling and thoughts as than one who only follow the social expectations.
