"Shinkankakuha" literature such as those of Yasunari Kawabata and Riichi Yokomitsu, and popular literature such as those of Eiji Yoshikawa and Kaizan Nakazato appeared. In magazines such as "Shinseinen", mysterious fantasy works such as those of Edogawa Ranpo and Yumeno Kyūsaku, or a style called "Ero guro nansensu", prevailed during this period (the pioneer in this field was Jun'ichirō Tanizaki during the Taishō era), and Kōnosuke Hinatsu introduced romantic and gothic poetry patterned after English literature. Entertainment works for children such as "Ōgon Bat", "Fuku-chan", "Norakuro", and the "Shōnen tantei dan" ("Boy Detectives Club") series became extremely popular.
