After his failure in left-wing activities, he repeatedly attempted suicide and struggled with drug addiction, but he continued to publish works from before World War II to the post-war period. His major works include "Run, Melos," "Tsugaru," and "No Longer Human." "The Setting Sun," which features a fallen noblewoman as the protagonist, became a bestseller. In the post-war period, due to his writing style, he was called a member of the New Grotesque School and the Decadent School along with Ango Sakaguchi, Sakunosuke Oda, Jun Ishikawa, and Kazuo Dan.
