Based on the myths and legends of the valley village accepted in his childhood, ōe Kenzaburō showed the myths and history of the "village" "nation" "cosmos" in Dōjidai gēmu completely, which is an epic with complete plots. Applying the oral-formulaic theory, this paper analyzes the plots of the myths and history in the novel from three aspects: formula, theme or typical scene, and story-pattern or tale-type. Through an exploration of the oral feature under the complex structure of the novel, the paper reveals the oral tradition behind it.
