Mushi are beings in touch with the essence of life, far more basic and pure than normal living things. Most humans are incapable of perceiving Mushi and are oblivious to their existence, but there are a few who possess the ability to see and interact with Mushi. One such person is Ginko who travels from place to place to research Mushi and aid people suffering from problems caused by them.

“虫”既不是动物，也不是微生物，而是一种自然界中无处不在的力量，拥有独特的生命形态，偶尔和人类生命产生交汇，便生出一些奇妙的故事。但人们即使得知了“虫”的存在，大部分时候也不知如何应对，这便需要“虫师”出马。 银古就是一位虫师，他一头银发，年纪尚轻，但已经半生游历，经过一个个山野、村庄，为人们解决“虫”的问题，通过和被“虫”困扰的人们接近，他也接近了许多故事。银古的游历像风一样，再惊心动魄的“虫”似乎都融化在水墨样的山峦叠嶂间，芸芸众生也是过眼云烟，淡淡的故事里没有哀伤只有静穆。
