He went to Tokyo to work and study, then was called up in 1919 and sent to Siberia, during the Japanese intervention against the young Soviet power. Back with a lung disease, he joined the proletarian literature movement, where his Siberian stories made his reputation. His health declining in the early thirties, he returned to his island and lived there until his death in 1943.
