Proverb as a language form of expression is also widely used in Japanese. It is the experience and wisdom of the people in the long-term productive labor and social life. It also reflects the views and opinions of the people in the social background of a thing. On the Japanese women proverbs analysis, we can understand from a different side to Japanese women. To date, there are many Japanese women saying \Therefore, this thesis inherit the results of prior studies on the basis of by the proverb Case Studies from the two major aspects of women as a whole and the specific role of women in social life were discussed in detail.

More accurately classified in two categories based on the contents of the proverbial expression. Finally, the content analysis of proverbs summed up the proverbial traditional image of Japanese women, and attempts to analyze the reasons for this image. The following two aspects of the results obtained by the above investigation. First, the image of women as a whole: 1, female attributes: talkative, foolish, weak, not the net but it is also narrow-minded, jealousy, sinister and varied. 2, the role of women: nurture the next generation, domestic and productive labor labor at the same time as a male appendage and sexual objects. 3, the nature and action of women should have: husband conservative chastity, gentle to people who understand the etiquette, pay attention to dress to please. 4, the positive evaluation of women: home the female house is not a home, compassionate woman, a woman will bring good luck. From the above proverb produce this view of women can be seen in the long patriarchal society, the dominance of men living in society, too much emphasis on the difference between male and female physiology and physical and despise women. Mixed despise women religious and feudal ideas. But in the positive evaluation of women, we can also see the shadow of worship of the primitive beliefs and myths of women. , Crafting the image of women in the social life: the birth of the women from the initial family - daughter, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, wife, concubine, a widow, mother, stepmother and women in society special groups - prostitutes aspects of the image of women in all aspects of the study proverbs. Examine family relations more important relationship between law relationship and the relationship between husband and wife as a supplement. Further reflection of the family acerbic mother-in-law, daughter-in-law of the painful situation and his wife's position in the family. In short, by the proverb analysis we can understand the concept of the traditional Japanese women are inferior to men exist, although the role of women in productive labor and family life in positive affirmation, but the women's right to liberty and the scope of activities subject to certain restrictions, much contempt had to live under the shadow of the male-dominated.
