Is there such thing as slice of life/iyashikei-type narratives in literary fiction? Or would it even make sense to make such kind of seemingly non-progressing "stories" (which would really be more like written sketches of scenes from everyday life) in literary fiction?

It's probably not "iyashikei" (like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou or some manga, I assume is what that basically would refer to) by any means but The Makioka Sisters (Sasameyuki in Japanese) is a novel following the lives of these sisters and their family in Osaka and it wasn't really plot-based so much as on one's enjoyment of the characters. In fact, there's plenty of stuff out there that isn't necessarily about plot.
