The two works have shown us the characteristics of existentialism expressed through the problem of characters, the problem of time - space and the writer's unique artistic techniques. The two works also show that Abe Kobo is a typical existentialist writer of modern Japanese literature, a person with a vanguard style ahead of his time. He is also a writer admired by many foreign readers, especially the West. - A special point is that the existential characters in Abe Kobo's works are always closely linked in their relationship with women, their women. Women play an important role in the development of the plot. They are the key to giving rise to and solving all problems in the work. This is a special point in Abe Kobo's writing. - Modern Japanese literature does not have many writers following the existentialist trend (typically Abe Kobo, Oe Kenzaburo), but the works of writer Abe Kobo have clearly shown the characteristics of existentialism in world literature, at the same time bearing the unique, distinctive features of a Japan that has gone through many changes in social history. - During the research process, we realized that Abe Kobo and his works can suggest directions for long-term, serious and deeper scientific research in the future. 12.
