And to be honest, the mysteries seem tangential to the real entertainment value of the novels, which lies in their depiction of everyday life in Edo and the quirky habits of the various youkai with whom Ichitaro interacts. (My favorites are byoubunozoki and the yanari-tachi.) It's a gimmick to be sure, but one that largely salvages the frankly cliched plots and pages of exposition at the end of each story explaining what happened. (Lest you think I'm being unnecessarily critical, check out the afterword for a categorical list of all the other authors from whom Hatakenaka has plagarised--I mean, taken her inspiration--I mean, plagarised--pretty much all of the main aspects of the series beyond the already obvious plot "twists.")
Technically, the novels are a fairly easy read despite the archaic vocabulary and dialect; I'd recommend them to anyone who enjoyed Yumemakura's Onmyoji series but wished he'd written the novels more accessibly (and with slightly less sexism). The eponymous "Neko no Baba" is the standout story in this collection, but they're all pretty fun, and I enjoyed this collection more than its predecessor (ぬしさまへ/Nushisama e).
