“Différance” is the philosophical concept of language introduced by Jacques Derrida. Accordingly, every word (or writing) is resisted or made differently in the context of communication. In which, subjective and objective imprints are always in dialogue. We apply the "différance" to the study of expressions through images in Murakami's short story The Super-Frog Saves Tokyo, to show the layers of meaning hidden in the work.
