Mushishi
蟲師
Mushishi follows Ginko, a wandering expert in mushi. Mushi are primitive beings that sit closer to the root of life than plants or animals. Most people cannot see them. Even so they can cause odd illnesses and strange events in the villages they touch. Ginko travels the mountains and coasts of an old-fashioned Japan to study them and help where he can. He has white hair and one green eye and is rarely without a cigarette. Each chapter tells a mostly self-contained story about a new place and its people. Ginko seldom fights anything. He looks for ways for people and mushi to live side by side. The mood is quiet and often bittersweet. It suits readers who like folklore, slow pacing and short stories that stay with you.
