Set in the mountain village of Kadono during Japan's Edo period, this fantasy follows Jinta, an outsider who serves as guardian to the village's shrine maiden, Itsukihime. Charged with hunting a demon in the surrounding forest, Jinta meets a creature that speaks of a troubling future rather than simply attacking him. The story is framed as an epic spanning roughly 170 years, from the Edo era into the Heisei period, and is driven by Jinta's search for meaning in wielding a sword. Alongside him, his childhood companion Suzune and the priestess Shirayuki play central roles in a narrative that blends action, emotional drama and Japanese folklore about demons and destiny.
