You're underequipped without reading traditional Japanese ghost stories. Kaidan by Lafcadio Hearn would be a nice start. Japanese cinema has a much closer dialogue with its folkloric traditions than films from most countries do. Ringu, for example is a film that follows traditional Japanese ghost story logic. Betrayal of one's wife or family is a horrendous crime and one that nobody gets away with for the Japanese. It has a lot to do with the tradition of venerating ancestors. Wronged women sort of end up as the judges. For an American example, look at Kill Bill. It's also worthy of note that Kill Bill doesn't just draw from the Bride Wore Black and Kung Fu movie tradition, it draws from a legacy of female vigilantes in Asian culture. Victim, Revenant and Vigilante are what you're mostly looking at when it comes to Asian horror's portrayal of women. You might also want to look at Japanese movies with female crime bosses, which I recently found out is sort of a subgenre. The character of O-Ren from Kill Bill is taken from these, and like Uma Thurman's character, becomes a prime example of a ferocious lady vigilante.
