Synopsis of "Kai - ayakashi: Bakemono

A samurai family's mansion in the Edo period. The granddaughter of the head of the family was about to get married. However, when it was time for the bride to get married, she was brutally murdered. The mysterious deaths occur one after another, as if following the words of a medicine peddler: "This is the work of a monster cat. The cat finally appears in front of the frightened people. Behind the cat's stalking of the people, there is a horrifying and insane incident that happened to a samurai family...

Synopsis of "Mononokai

As long as there is a human world, there will be monsters. Since ancient times, when an ayakashi (a kind of monster) attaches itself to a person's passions or grudges, it becomes a mononokai and brings misfortune to the people. The only sword in the world that can slay these monsters is the demon-slaying sword. There is a medicine man who travels around the world using it to slay monsters. The medicine man continues his journey while saving people's hearts.

Synopsis of "Mononokai Karagasa the Movie

Ooku is a special place where beautiful and talented women are gathered from all over the country to produce the heir to the "Prince of Heaven," the ruler of the world, and it is also an important bureaucracy. Asa and Kame, two new housemaids, step into this unusual space, a "society" with its own set of rules.
Asa is a brilliant and talented woman seeking career advancement, while Kame is a woman seeking a place in the Ooku, a place she has always longed to be. From day one, these two opposites are forced to participate in a "ritual" to become a part of the group, in which they are required to offer "something precious" to the "Omizu-sama," the deity worshipped in the inner palace. The two become bonded by the events that take place there.
Utayama, a senior official, puts the prosperity and perpetuation of the inner palace first and organizes the ladies' maidservants, but there is something hidden behind his expressionless face. But there is something hidden behind his expressionless face. The women's passions accumulate night after night, a strange sound like a spinning umbrella echoes from nowhere, and the wenches lose control of themselves as if possessed....
Finally, a decisive tragedy occurs, and the medicine man follows the monster to the center of the inner chambers, but the sword that can slay and exorcise the monster must have the three elements of "form," "truth," and "reason" to be able to break through the seal. When the medicine peddler comes in contact with the horrifying and sad truth hidden in the inner chambers, the ritual of exorcism and salvation begins...
