Okay so I watched both the 2007 Ayakashi and Mononoke anime, AND the 2024 Karakasa movie, exactly because the movie managed to get me hyperfixated. And since I didn't find any information about what I had picked on, I thought I could share it.

The specific Mudras Kon Kusuriuri uses :

Since I am Buddhist, I could recognize the Mudras and knew it had to be done voluntarily, and I had to rewatch the movie to realize that Shingi also used the same Mudras.

The first one is called "Surya Mudra", or the Sun Mudra.

I thought it could be interesting given the way Shingi's hair turns a fierce red, or the fact that Kon's Trigram is for Earth, and Kusu never presses his thumb against the ring finger to regulate the Earth element.

But the second Mudra is what caught my attention the most.

The Shunya Mudra.

I believe it can be very telling to associate the Sun Mudra, that represents vitality to the Mudra of Emptiness in the way he exorcizes Mononoke, because it shows how it is a lot more than bringing a Mononoke back to a state of emptiness (flowers are even used upon the Mononoke's "death", or each time it sustained an attack from the sword).

Mononoke are born from negative emotions and regret, and as Ri Kusuriuri said in the last Bakeneko arc, "Memories are tied to a single place". Mononoke must be exorcized, so the soul can finally move on and grow into something else, instead of being stuck in negativity and torment for eternity.

Anyhoo, I hope some will find that random bit interesting !

Mononoke Theory: the hexagrams= the types of Mononoke each medicine seller is tasked with exorcising.

I was doing some looking into Bagua, specifically the meanings of the Ri and Kon trigrams, for obvious reasons. And I found something quite interesting concerning the Attributes each trigram holds.

At first, I was hoping that they’d relate in some way to the personality or symbolism surrounding the medicine sellers themselves. But that didn’t seem to entirely be the case. Ri has the attributes “light-giving, humane, dependence”. The first two make sense, as he DOES bring metaphorical light (truth and understanding) by exorcising Mononoke, and he has been shown to express kindness towards the spirits that end up in these pitiable situations. But dependence? That makes…less sense.

Until I realized that Dependence is (in one way or another) a factor in the stories of all the Mononoke he’s exorcised.

Children aborted against the wishes of their mothers, the aftermath of a codependent incestuous affair, a battered woman who’s too afraid to leave the family she despises, an evil spirit desperate for the love of others, and a dead woman trying in any way she can to get the truth of her death brought to light….all of these Mononoke are spirits who were dependent on others, whether that’s their victims or the ones who wronged them. And all of them were exorcised by the wielder of the Ri sword—the sword of the dependence attribute.

Conversely, Kon’s attributes are “devoted/yielding.” Though we’ve only seen him exorcise one Mononoke so far, it was the spirit of a woman who was so devoted to her work it destroyed everything else inside of her. And since the other two movies in his trilogy also seem to be taking place in the Ooku, it seems like they will also deal with the consequences of letting your devotion to a cause destroy your personhood.

TL;DR: both Ri and Kon seem to specialize in spirits that have attributes of their respective trigram. Also, both their trigrams have associations with women: Ri is associated with the second daughter and Kon is associated with the mother.
