Mushishi are mostly people who can see Mushi, although one usually does not have to be a Mushishi to be affected by or affect Mushi. Most Mushishi have a gift to see Mushi (this skill is called "youshitsu"). Many Mushishi unavoidably attract Mushi, and for this reason must constantly be on the move. The primary reason for the attraction is mostly due to the items Mushishi carrywhich allow them to capture, ward off, attract or even kill Mushi.
