If you liked Mushishi: Hihamukage I think you'd also enjoy the series Kino's Journey.If you liked the series, I think the short anime episode would be enjoyable to you. Both shows share a common theme of travelers on a journey exploring and learning from their excursions. Both share a sense of wondrous adventure, and a feeling that new and amazing things are yet to be encountered. Both retain a positive vibe and energy, despite discovering adverse situations and complex encounters. Watch one and then check out the other and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Like Mushishi: Hihamukage, Kino's Journey follows a traveler as she learns different things from each of her travels. Both also share the same tone and feeling, and even if Kino's Journey doesn't have any supernatural elements you'll still enjoy it if you liked Mushishi: Hihamukage.

Both Kino's Journey and Mushishi follow a traveler as they travel around the world and show us the stories that unfold as they do so.
Mushishi: Hihamukage is a single (special) episode, but it's a decent starting point if you have never watched Mushishi before. Kino's Journey is a full-blown series but if you enjoyed the episodic and mostly calm feelings of Mushishi you'll enjoy Kino as well.

He finds himself hounded by his grandmother's underlings and, with the help of a 'cat' charm spirit, decides to free them from the Book's shackles, as well as protect the book from those who seek to misuse its power...

Both involve spirits and trying to free a spirit.
These spirits have people's lives harder.
Only some people can see these spirits.
