The only book published during Kajii's lifetime was a collection entitled Lemon (1931), which included twenty short stories in the genre of ego-belletristics ("watakushi-shosetsu"). They are characterized by deep psychology, pure lyrical intonation and skillful writing style, reminiscent of the emphasized rough and careless, but in fact exquisite hieroglyphic scrolls. The works in this collection have earned the author not only popularity but also the love of readers, and the story that gave the book its title is included in most Japanese anthologies and chrestomathies along with other masterpieces of Japanese New Age literature.
