Mushishi

The core concept of the series has to do with a wandering traveler, Ginko, offering his help to people in the countryside of Japan who are dealing with creatures called mushi. The concept of mushi fits right in with other Japanese mythology and folklore: a living being which is a combination of spirits, insects, and animals. At the same time, the concept of a mushishi, or mushi master, fits right into Japanese customs and culture: here is a certain type of person who has mastery over this field through years of training and studying centuries of ancient passed down knowledge.
