MUSHI-SHI

蟲師

Deep in the remote mountains and forests of ancient Japan, there exist beings known as Mushi—primitive life forms that are neither plant nor animal. They exist in countless forms, from simple organisms to phenomena that mimic rainbows or diseases. Most humans cannot perceive them, but their presence can cause strange and sometimes dangerous effects on the world and those who live in it.

Ginko is a Mushishi, a traveling expert who studies Mushi and their interactions with humans. He wanders from village to village, investigating mysterious events linked to these elusive creatures. Using his deep knowledge and a special tobacco that makes Mushi visible, he helps people afflicted by their influence, seeking to understand the true nature of Mushi and their place in the cycle of life.
