Shouzen
Douzen, a Taoist priest who travels the land, one day encounters a young girl raised by a yokai. Unfamiliar with human emotions or affection, Douzen gives her the name Shouzen and decides to take her along on his travels as his disciple. What is goodness? What is love? Thus begins a journey of spiritual training for Shouzen as she grows into a human being. (Source: Fuji TV, translated)
