They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the "Mushi". |

I’m not normally huge on anime, but a friend of mine whose aesthetic sense I trust recommended this to me without reservation. I’ll echo that here.
Beautiful, meditative, immersive. Takes hold of you gently, like a mother’s embrace.
Great show for the dead of winter.
