These are film adaptations based on the original Mononoke anime television series (2007) which in turn were based on the original Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales anthology series (2006), both created by Toei Animation. The films continue the stories about the mysterious medicine seller, as he continues to face various dangerous spirits, known as the mononoke. Armed with a sharp wit, a keen intellect, and his Exorcism sword, the Medicine Seller wanders from place to place, striking down the evil spirits in his wake.
