Abstract: Akutagawa Ryunosuke's conception of motherhood and the creation of mother images are closely related to his upbringing.In the early stage of his writing career,mother images were closely guarded;in the middle stage the yearning for mothers could be seen;and in the later stage he sang high praise of mothers.It could be found out from the different stages that the writer's conception of motherhood was constantly on the change.As a result mother images in his works are also in a dynamic process of changing.
