Kyōka first gained acclaim for his “The Operating Room”(外科室Gekashitsu) and “Night Watchman”(夜行巡査Yakōjunsa); his most famous work is “The Holy Man of Mount Koya”(高野聖Kōyahijiri). Known for a characteristic brand of Romanticism preferring tales of the supernatural heavily influenced by works of the earlier Edo period in Japanese arts and letters. Works translated into English include "The Holy Man of Mount Koya", “A Song by Lantern-light”(歌行燈Uta'andon), and "A Tale of Three Who Were Blind"(三人の盲の話sannin no mekura no hanashi), though a majority have yet to be translated. His plays are particularly popular in Japan, and his Demon Pond(夜叉ヶ池Yasha ga Ike) is still performed.
