Ueda Akinari (1734-1809) is considered by his work Tales of moonlight and rain (Ugetsu Monogatari, 1776) the most acclaimed Japanese author of short stories with themes of the unusual. This paper aims to analyze the stories “The Owl of the Three Jewels” and “Chrysanthemum Vow” present in this work, seeking to understand them from classical theories about gender, and propose a discussion of some of these concepts by relating them Japanese unusual literature characteristics.
