| Deep within the forests of Masaymura era Japan, a village inhabited by the nearly extinct Emishi people is attacked by a demon god. A young prince known as Ashitaka comes to the aid of his shattered kind, and in the process of defeating this great evil, he comes under a curse. Taking the form of a scar, this curse will slowly devour his flesh and his soul. Following the advice of a wise oracle, he journeys to the source of the demon, a settlement in the Far East. Here, he will encounter a grisly battle between a man-made iron mill, led by the fierce and independent Lady Eboshi, and the last remaining animal gods. How can he find a peaceful solution to this senseless battle, a battle where hate blinds enemies from their own actions? |
