His works strongly reflect the atmosphere of Showa-era Japan and have been highly acclaimed for their literary aspects, with many adapted into films and TV dramas. Notable works include 'Dousei Jidai' (Live-in Age) from 1972, a hit co-authored with Ryoko Yamagishi, and 'Shurayukihime' (Lady Snowblood) and 'Saruberusuberi' (Crape Myrtle) from 1983.
