Synopsis of Mononoke

The "Medicine Seller" is a lethal and mysterious master of the occult who travels through feudal Japan in search of malevolent spirits called "mononoke" to kill. When he locates one of these spirits, he cannot simply kill it; He must first learn its form, its truth, and its reason in order to wield the mighty sword of exorcism and fight it. He must begin his bizarre exorcisms with intense psychological analysis and careful investigative work, an extremely dangerous step, as he must first confront and learn about the mononoke before he has the means to defeat it.

The Medicine Salesman's journey takes him to an old inn where Shino, a pregnant woman, has finally found a place to rest. The owner has reluctantly placed her in the last empty room; however, when he settles in, it quickly becomes apparent that the room is infested by a lethal gang of mononoke, the Zashiki Warashi. With his hunter's intuition, the Medicine Salesman begins his investigation to discover Form, Truth, and Reason before the Zashiki Warashi can kill again.
