A mystical mountain, an artist’s first inspiration. As fame and fortune grow, any thoughts of his former life lie discarded like a robe dropped carelessly on the ground. Ten years later, the muse has grown dormant and the artisan travels back to find his home, his family gone. The mountain, too, has grown dormant. Ginko follows the man's flight home, led there by a painting alive with mushi. While his reception on the mountain may be less than pleasant, the life that he has brought back to the village is more than welcome.
