This is a type of ghost story unique to Japan, and like films about raccoon dogs and foxes, it has long been made as a ``grotesque'' thing (books on the history of Japanese cinema state that it was ``popular with a low-brow audience''), but in the early 1930s, Suzuki Sumiko (1904-1985), known as the ``enchantress actress'' of Japanese cinema, played the heroine of this type of ghost story film one after another (``The Legend of the Saga Ghost Cat'' and ``Arima Cat'' (both 1937), ``The Fifty-three Stations of the Ghost Cat'' and ``The Ghost Story: Mystery of the Shamisen'' (both 1938), ``Yamabuki Cat'' (1940), etc.), and since then, it has come to form part of the undercurrent of Japanese cinema history as a unique genre of ghost story film.

日本固有の怪談映画の一種で,〈狸もの〉〈狐もの〉などと同様に古くから〈ゲテモノ〉としてつくられてきたが(日本映画史をつづった本には〈低俗観客層に愛好された〉などと記されている),昭和10年代の初めに日本映画きっての〈妖婦女優〉として知られた鈴木澄子(1904‐85)がこの種の怪談映画のヒロインを次々に演じて(《佐賀怪猫伝》《有馬猫》(ともに1937),《怪猫五十三次》《怪談謎の三味線》(ともに1938),《山吹猫》(1940),等々),〈化猫女優〉の異名を取って以来,怪談映画のなかでも特殊なジャンルとして日本映画史の底流の一部を形成することになった。
