During the Edo period, the remote mountain village of Kadono is home to a revered shrine maiden known as "Itsukihime." Jinta, a young outsider who has taken on the role of her guardian, ventures into the forest to slay a mysterious demon—only to encounter a being that speaks of a distant future. Spanning from the Edo era to the modern Heisei period, this sweeping Japanese fantasy follows a demon warrior as he journeys through time, forever seeking the true purpose of his sword.
