Beyond the gleaming towers and tranquil temples of Japan lies a hidden world, an ancient ecosystem of spirits teeming with life. What if a forgotten umbrella could awaken with a soul?

It is a story not just of gods and monsters, but of how a nation’s soul was forged by the things that whisper just beyond the edge of sight.
