Short description
The Medicine Seller is a deadly and mysterious master of the occult who travels across feudal Japan in search of malevolent spirits called mononoke to slay. 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 Exorcism Sword and fight against it. He must begin his strange 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 even has the means to defeat it.

What's left behind the scenes
- The Apothecary is dressed as an onnagata—male Kabuki theater actors who played female roles. Furthermore, even his 'makeup' is a stylization of Kabuki theater makeup.
- The main character of 'Mononoke' has no name. He is a mysterious man known as the Apothecary.
- The sword has an incarnation that fights the mononoke—a young man with long hair and tanned skin adorned with golden patterns. The incarnation appears only when the Form, Truth, and Reason of the mononoke are known.
