Who wrote "The Boy Who Loved to Draw Cats?"?

It's a story in a little book of Japanese stories I had when I was a tiny child. Nobody recalls it, and everyone says the story sounds much too scary for little children. It's a spooky ghost story. But I really liked it.... Does anyone recall that book? It was a narrow little book with black-and-white, Japanese-looking illustrations. I had it in the early 1960s. Who wrote that book?

    I HAVE THE BOOK RIGHT HERE..LOL

    Once there was a boy who loved to draw. His name was Joji.

    Joji grew up on a farm with lots of brothers and sisters. The others were a big help to their father and mother. But not Joji!

    He did nothing for hours but draw in the dirt with a stick. And what Joji drew was just one thing.

    Cats.

    Cats, cats, and more cats. Small cats, big cats, thin cats, fat cats. Cats, cats, cats, cats, cats.

    I remember that story too. It was in a large book of fairy tales, I think. I don't recall being scared by it, but with the right treatment, it could be made into something truly terrifying!
