Following this, Inagaki continued to shoot films, mainly around Nikkatsu Uzumasa and Uzumasa Kyoto, and in 1935 he co-directed 'Seki no Yatappe' with Yamanaka; Inagaki also independently crafted some of his most celebrated epic and period films during this period, including his 1935 film 'Daibosatsu toge' (literally 'The Bodhisattva's Pass' but sometimes credited as 'The Sword of Doom' in English) based on the original novel by Kaizan NAKAZATO, his 1936 film 'Matatabi sen-ichi ya' (A Thousand and One Nights in a Gambler's Wandering Life) starring the actors of the Zenshin troupe, and the film 'Umi wo wataru sairei' (The Ocean-Crossing Festival) in 1941.
その後は日活太秦や太秦京都を中心に映画を撮影し、10年山中と共同監督した「関の弥太ッぺ」、中里介山原作の「大菩薩峠」、11年前進座出演の「股旅千一夜」、16年「海を渡る祭礼」などといった時代劇の大作や話題作を製作。
