It has same aura. When you watch Mushishi, and when you watch Seirei no Moribito, you feel somewhat close to nature. (and both anime are quite nature-spirit related)
I've found this one trough recomendations for JK, it is indeed reminds me a lot about Twelve Kingdoms, but that's not all of it. It also reminds me about Mushishi and Rurouni Kenshin.
Mushishi for it's slow, but intriguing pace with lore as a big aspect of the story.
Juuni Kokuki for feudal East setting and fantasy aspects.
Rurouni Kenshin for a warrior, who swore not to take another life.
All in all it is an incredible title.
These two series here are a nice refreshment and excellent in their own rights.
First of all, both series has a mature main character who is independent and wise. Additionally, they have their own morals in the fantasy world and have goals of helping others. Speaking of which...the fantasy world in both of these series is well crafted with nice visual artwork and gives off that feeling of naturalism.
Both series has excellent writing with a strong narrative. Both series are overall a nice breath of fresh air so give it a try.
