I prefer Yabu No Naka No Kuroneko though.

His world would be also interesting for you.
Many or almost all of "nihon mukashi banashi" (Japanese old tales) includes "ghosts" (Yuki on'na, as well)
and those are very good. We all know some of them, and those short stories have some lessons in life,
moral lessons or doctrines. I remember, somehow, "hebi nyoubou" (へび女房 lit. snake wife) was impressive.
