Fuki is a young woman who is able to see Mushi and is widely regarded as "strange" because of it. She was working in the service of a well-to-do family, employed as a nurse for their youngest child, and often spent late nights trying to calm the infant by wandering the fields. It was there that she became acquainted with the elder son of the house, Seijiro. Over the course of these nights together, Seijiro developed feelings for Fuki, and it is assumed that she reciprocated these feelings.
Mushishi
They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the "Mushi".
