Mononoke Hime (もののけ姫) T-Shirt

Mononoke Hime (もののけ姫) This is a jidaigeki (period drama) set in late Muromachi period Japan, and centers on the struggle between the forest's supernatural guardians and the humans consuming its resources, as seen by outsider Ashitaka. Mononoke (物の怪) is not a name, but a general term in Japanese for a spirit or monster. Princess Mononoke follows the journey of the last prince Emishi, Ashitaka, and his quest for peace between the human settlement, Irontown, and the creatures that live in the forest that surrounds it. "Now our last prince must cut his hair and leave us, never to return? Sometimes I think the gods are laughing at us." “Our laws forbid us from watching you go, Ashitaka. Whatever comes to pass now, you are dead to us forever..” —Ashitaka is cast out by Hii-sama and the village elders
