The aim of this study is to make an attempt to define and compare the two different yet relevant symbols a reader can notice in Uzbek and Japan literature, and is to explain how they function in different literary contexts. Also, it gives information on the effects these symbols produce on the readers. These different symbols are tools of language that are used by writers and authors of Uzbekistan and Japan to deliver hidden meaning, uniqueness, color and emotional state in the language. The expressive means of a language can mainly be noticed in a literary language and are rare in ordinary speech. In many literary cases, these symbols are deliberately selected to create a certain stylistic effect. The aim of this paper is to discuss some literary symbols and how and what impact they have on the reader they have, as well as differences of them between Japan and Uzbek literature. The discussion is provided by definitions of stylistic devices, their nature, functions and the special effects they produce in literary texts
