Description

In the midst of a Japanese civil war, a child was born with a horn on his forehead. His mother believed him to be a demon and abandoned him. The child was picked up by an old exorcist who gave him the name Utsunomiko (roughly: “Divine Child of Heaven”). She thought that the horn on his forehead was a symbol of the unity of heaven and earth. Utsunomiko, or Miko for short, now grows up in the wilderness and learns to be in tune with the spirits of the landscape. One day, out of curiosity, he comes across a small Japanese village where the inhabitants live in squalor and poverty. Miko decides to help the people in this village with his spiritual powers. But when the Japanese imperial house gets wind of it, Miko is to be stopped from using his powers – by force, if necessary …
Inmitten des Chaos eines japanischen Bürgerkriegs wurde ein Kind mit einem Horn auf seiner Stirn geboren. Seine Mutter hielt ihr für einen Dämon und setzte ihn aus. Aufgegabelt wurde das Kind von einer alten Exorzistin, die ihm den Namen Utsunomiko (etwa: »Göttliches Kind des Himmels«) gab. Sie meinte, das Horn auf seiner Stirn wäre ein Symbol für die Zusammengehörigkeit von Himmel und Erde. Utsunomiko, kurz auch Miko, wächst nun in der Wildnis auf und lernt, mit den Geistern der Landschaft zu harmonieren. Eines Tages stößt er aus Neugier auf ein kleines japanisches Dorf, in dem die Bewohner in Elend und Armut leben. Miko beschließt, den Menschen in diesem Dorf mit seinen spirituellen Kräften zu helfen. Doch als das japanische Kaiserhaus Wind davon bekommt, soll Miko vom Einsatz seiner Kräfte abgehalten werden - wenn es sein muss, mit Gewalt …

An enthralling period fantasy/epic set in the Asuka period. Its numerous sources of inspiration, in relation to the religious lore, makes it somewhat difficult to fully grasp for a westerner mind. Still, the work is still approachable enough when simply followed as a linear story. While the animation is now dated, the gorgeous art direction and the ceremonious original soundtrack absolutely immerse one into what is a spiritual odyssey in an enchantingly beautiful but unfair paradise realm. Very well balanced themes and plot execution. One of its major fault is introducing characters in media res without prior buildup... That makes it uneasy to fully relate to them, have you not read Keisuke Fujikawa's light novel. Nevertheless, Tenjou Hen: Utsu no Miko being relegated on the oubliette of the medium is a major injustice.
