Mushishi

## Mushishi *Mushishi* is a meditative, episodic masterpiece — a slow, beautiful series about invisible life and the weight of human experience. Mushi are the most primitive form of life — neither plant nor animal nor spirit, but something fundamental to existence itself. Most people cannot see or even sense them, but occasionally they interact with humans in ways that cause illness, strange dreams, or miraculous abilities. Ginko is a Mushishi — a wandering expert who studies and mediates between the world of mushi and humanity. Each episode follows Ginko as he travels through ancient Japan, encountering different people whose lives have been touched by mushi. The series has no overarching villain and no ongoing plot — only Ginko, the road, and the quiet, strange, sometimes heartbreaking encounters along the way.
