Abstract

The works “Travelogue of a Journey to Mongolia” (Shiba Ryotaro, 1974) and “Travelogue of the Steppes” (Shiba Ryotaro, 1992), which reveal the essence of the simple existence of Mongolian people and tell the wonderful story of an ordinary Mongolian woman who never gave up on her views and beliefs in order to achieve her goal of being a Mongolian and striving for her homeland, overcoming many difficulties, have been able to create a deep impression on Japanese readers about Mongolia.

The essence of the existence of Mongolian people is determined by the historical path of the Mongolians, the uniqueness of their culture and civilization, and their sense of belonging to their homeland. In other words, it can be said that they search for their own essence throughout their lives. B.Tsevegmaa’s life path has determined that human existence is a free existence. Freedom is not “freedom of mind” but rather “the right to choose.”

Through the image of a woman who values ​​freedom, she aims to define the values, purpose, and essence of Mongolian life. Behind every difficult life and bitter lesson she has experienced, she represents the entire Mongolian ethnic group, oppressed and marginalized by cultural conflicts, social changes, and systems.
