Ugetsu Monogatari (雨月物語, Tales of Moonlight and Rain) is a collection of nine supernatural tales first published in 1776. It is the best known work of Japanese author Ueda Akinari.
Largely adapted from traditional Japanese and Chinese ghost stories, the collection is among the most important works of Edo period (1603–1867) and kaidan literature, and is considered a predecessor of the yomihon genre. Kenji Mizoguchi's award-winning film Ugetsu (1953), credited with helping popularize Japanese cinema in the West, was adapted from two of the collection's stories.
