The novel Rashomon written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and the movie directed by Korozawa Akira are both considered as the classic treasure, which have been causing lasting effect towards the society. Although countless research contributed to the study in this field, there is still lacking of systematic description about the process and difference of Rashomon. Rashomon is derived from Konjakumonogatariuu. However, the film Rashomon developed its plot based on Akutagaws'another work In a Grove. Meanwhile, the movie set the story in the situation of Rashomon. After the brand-new improvement, it pushes Rashomon into the world.The article analyzes the process and difference of Rashomon from three aspects.The first part simply analyzed the historical adaption of Rashomon, describing the relevant stories of Konjakumonogatariuu, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and his works Rashomon and Konjakumonogatariuu as well as Korozawa Akira and the movie made from the novel of the same name.The second part examines the difference from its historical development. From Konjakumonogatariuu to Rashomon, and then to the movie of the same name, the symbol of Rashomon varied completely and creatively. Both the spirit and spiritual difference determine the immortality and general acceptance. Even now, the learners are still interested in recomposing the classic novel. Rashomon of the three stories in Konjakumonogatariuu is objective and a kind of fact-telling. The novel Rashomon endows the stories new understanding and perception of the author, showing the current issues from the history respect. Nevertheless, Rashomon in the movie of Korozawa Akira emphasizes the suffering root behind the description of the cheat, exploitation and death.The third part examines the background and root for the difference. The author's growing experience, the historical background of the work and the influence of religion and thought are considered as the main elements. The author's growing experience set the tone of the novel because his suffering and the unsteadiness of the society made Ryunosuke Akutagawa extremism, skepticism and pessimism. On the contrary, the period of Korozawa Akira is more peaceful and his characteristic is milder, to some extent avoiding his career towards extremism. We always can find humanity and salvation in Akira's works. The movie Rashomon was directed after the WWII. And the popularity of Buddhism influenced both Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Korozawa Akira. The western thought at that time were also introduced to Japan which influenced the work. After all, Ryunosuke Akutagawa is the representative of the school of new thought, and Korozawa Akira is influenced greatly by the French Avant-garde.
