As the first study objective, this paper tries to identify why Akutagawa had interest in ghost story novel in these times and he took war related ghost stories as the subject. And, the issue should be also verified whether the evaluation about 『Strange stories』 which is classified as Japanese ghost story novel is appropriate. Second, many of Akutagawa’s works can be often identified to take the form of ‘story within a story’ that the novel is included in the novel. Especially, 『Strange stories』 has been ignored in preceding studies even though it had the form of typical form of ‘story within a story’’. Finally, among Akutagawa’s techniques, even though the readers can read the narrator’s technique to deceive the readers in this work, this couldn’t receive the attention as well. The fact that narrator’s expressions to beautify the main character had the contents to deny the main character on the other way can be identified in his other works. Through the above study purpose, the value of novel techniques in 『Strange stories』 could be rediscovered which didn’t receive the attention until now.
