The following year, the magazine Weekly Shincho was launched, and Taniuchi regularly created the cover painting. For the next 25 years until he passed away in 1981, he painted over 1,300 covers for the magazine. Taniuchi also created murals and picture books, along with many whimsical stand-alone small stories and images of childhood. He also interacted with schools and gave free art classes.
