This is a classic. A must see for many people, though not all. I highly recommend it. Now, before I go further, I will have to talk about the downsides to this anime. It is a bit slow, too slow for some people (a certain person who likes to watch stuff at 2x or 3x speed comes to mind), but if you have some patience, this will not be a problem. This anime doesn't have mechas, light-speed fight scenes, fanservice, or any of the other mindless entertainment many anime comprise only of (not insulting this kind of entertainment, I'm just saying Mushishi is different). So, what is Mushishi?
Mushishi is about Ginko, a mushishi, who deal with paranormal creatures. Honestly, that's about it, but this anime is less about plot, and more about feel. The whole presentation is a collection of short stories - one per episode. It gives a peaceful yet fulfilling feel to the viewer. One can get engrossed in the environment and simply enjoy it for what it is. If you haven't seen it yet, you should watch at least the first episode and determine if it is right for you.
