this came at a time when the literary world was gravitating rapidly towards free verse, and as Ariake refused to adapt to the new trends, he gradually withdrew from literary circles. In 1947 he published of his autobiographical novel, , which was the final poetic work of his career, although he continued to work on translations of European poets as well as literary criticism. In 1948, Ariake was inducted into the Japan Art Academy. Ariake moved from Tokyo to Kamakura, Kanagawa prefecture in 1919, but was forced to relocate to Shizuoka city Shizuoka prefecture after his house collapsed during the Great Kantō earthquake of 1923. He returned to Kamakura in 1945, after his house was burned down by the firebombing of Shizuoka during the Pacific War. He continued to live in Kamakura until his death in 1952 of acute pneumonia at the age of 76. From 1945-1946, the Nobel Prize-winning Kawabata Yasunari was a house-guest at Ariake's house in Kamakura. Ariake's grave is located at the temple of Kenso-ji in Moto-Azabu, Tokyo.
