"The Woman in the Dunes" (Japanese: 砂の女, Suna no Onna) is a novel by the Japanese writer Kōbō Abe, first published in 1962. The story revolves around an amateur entomologist named Niki Jumpei, who, after missing the last bus home from a day trip to the seashore, is offered lodging for the night in a remote village. However, he soon discovers that he is trapped in a vast sand pit, where he must help the villagers continuously shovel sand to prevent their homes from being buried.

The novel explores themes of existentialism, isolation, and the struggle for identity. As Niki becomes increasingly entangled in the monotonous and oppressive routine of digging sand, he grapples with his sense of self and the nature of freedom. The woman living in the pit, who is also trapped, becomes both a companion and a symbol of his entrapment.

Abe's writing combines elements of myth and suspense, creating a haunting atmosphere that reflects the psychological and physical struggles of the characters. The novel has been praised for its rich symbolism and philosophical depth, making it one of the premier works of Japanese literature in the 20th century.

In addition to the novel, "The Woman in the Dunes" was adapted into a critically acclaimed film in 1964, directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, further solidifying its status as a significant cultural work.
