A gruff but gifted folk doctor treats patients whose ailments blur the line between the physical and the fantastical, from fingers that sprout chili peppers to tears that flow as condiments. Rooted in the traditions of Japanese folk medicine and spiritual belief, the series offers a quietly inventive take on illness, healing, and the costs we bear for recovery. Fans of folklore-tinged storytelling will find it a rewarding watch before or after exploring Tokyo's own historic medicine and shrine districts.
