The time and place is the Muromachi era, Japan. A prince of a small village
is cursed to a slow but certain death by a Boar God turned Tatari-Gami
(Cursing God). To find a possible cure to the curse, he travels westwards.
Hearing of a Shishi-Gami (Deer-God) that may be his salvation, he soon
comes across a village of iron miners and there finds himself in the middle
of a battle between the animal gods of the forest, lead by a girl called
Princess Mononoke by the villagers who was raised by the Wolf God, and
the iron miners, lead by a female leader who is trying to create a sanctuary
for human outcasts. Along side this battle is a mysterious group of men who
are after the head of the Shishi-Gami in a quest to gain immortality. Why did
the Boar God turn into a Cursing God? Can he persuade all those involved to
make peace or is conflict inevitable between man and nature?
