This research aimed to focus on the life record movement that did the prosperity in 1950's. I grasp writers of life record as the people who practiced writing personal experience and tried to clarify the characteristic from the life story theory and a meaning of the life record movement It is known that the life record movement rapidly developed to the life record movement of adult triggered by "Yamabiko Gakko" published in 1951 and the first conference of composition education held in Nakatsugawa in 1952 opened as main writers with young factory workers and housewives and refluxed in 1960's. At the present the half century later, I performed two research from sociological point of view ; doing field work on the life record movement. In particular I carried out the qualitative investigation of the situation of the life record movement, the collection of the life records works, and the writers. I drew a concrete figure of the people who wrote themselves in this movement by the interview to the particularly then life record movement person concerned. I considered a meaning of "the literacy of expressing the self "that practice to write personal experience bred of the 50's and 60's through life stories which narrated at the present. Fnrthermore, I examined how "the literacy to interpret the self experience" had been formed in a flow of the postwar writing movement.
