Tóm tắt: | In Ainu oral literature there are ubiquitous motifs or story-patterns shared among stories. These stories are integrated by a certain motif, and collectively compose interrelated corpora. To understand each individual narrative, we should refer to other stories based on traditional referentiality.

In the process, the historical consciousness of the Ainu narratives is also considered. |
