Shizukana Kage-e and Machi no Hi represent Akira Maruoka's mature, quietly autobiographical fiction of the mid-1960s. The Kodansha volume Shizukana Kage-e follows memory and everyday feeling in a restrained style, while Machi no Hi draws out traces of people and the shadows of the past in the city.

Through faint memories and city lights, these works trace the loneliness and lingering resonance hidden in postwar everyday life.
