An enigmatic race that carries unspeakable and mysterious power, the Mushi are so intrinsically connected to the very essence of life that their presence isn't even perceived by normal humans. Ginko, however, is not a normal human. He is a Mushi-shi, a person with the ability to see and interact with the Mushi-shi. To make the most of his gift, Ginko travels the world, searching for Mushi and for a greater understanding of these ephemeral beings and their place in the fate of human kind. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
