In Japan, a man named Ginko wanders the land, investigating incursions by \u003ci\u003emushi\u003c\/i\u003e into the human world—and by us into theirs. He is a \u003ci\u003emushi\u003c\/i\u003e master…a \u003ci\u003emushi-shi\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIncludes Japanese volumes 5-6 in a premium casewrap hardcover featuring a new to English cover illustration..\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough invisible to most, tiny creatures known as \u003ci\u003emushi\u003c\/i\u003e lurk beneath the surface of everyday reality. They exert a strange and occasionally terrifying influence on people's lives, and only experts known as mushishi carry the knowledge of how to deal with them. A mushishi named Ginko wanders the Japanese countryside, following rumors of various unusual occurences: a young man who dreams the future; a child with horns growing from his forehead; a boy with the power to write creatures into being; and more...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon its release in the 2000s, \u003ci\u003eMushishi\u003c\/i\u003e earned global acclaim for its poetic episodic storytelling and delicate, beautiful artwork, winning the Japan Media Arts Prize, selection as a Best Manga by the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs, and recommendation as a top read for teens by the American Library Association. The series inspired two TV anime adaptations in 2005 and 2014 and a live-action film directed by the legendary Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of \u003ci\u003eAKIRA\u003c\/i\u003e.
