Plot

Set in the Sengoku era, the story is of Suzu; a heroine continuously sought by spirits (mononoke). However, she has mastered techniques to protect herself, which she learned from the late Shinkurou, the man she calls "Toto-sama". One day during a trip, she encounters an unknown spirit; her powers awaken and activate the power of the flute she carries as Shinkurou's memento. An unknown man who reminds her of Toto-sama appears before her eyes and the spirit is defeated.
