About
Mononoke follows a wandering, nameless character known only as the "Medicine Seller". The series is made up of individual chapters where the medicine seller encounters, combats and subsequently destroys the mononoke. The "mononoke" are a type of ayakashi, unnatural spirits that linger in the human world.
The Medicine Seller always proceeds in the same manner, where he uses his knowledge of the supernatural to fend off the mononoke until he can learn the spirit's shape (Katachi), truth (Makoto) and reasoning (Kotowari). Only then, can he unsheath his sword and exorcise the demon.
