In turn, using the brush will allow Amaterasu to help unhappy mortals without revealing her godhead, she can fix bridges and waterwheels, help Granny Orange dry her washing, track down Fuse-hime’s eight canine companions or take a break and enjoy a little fishing with little Kokori in Agata Forest. Touching the R1 button turns the screen into a canvas and a combination of the triangle button and the right analogue stick allow for strokes to be artfully drawn on the environment, creating gusts of wind that cause trees to explode into bloom and even the sun and moon to appear at will. Given that the graphics of Okami are modelled on scrolls drawn with a calligraphy brush and ink, the Celestial Brush is the perfect complement.

He also serves as Amaterasu’s mentor and teaches her how to use the Celestial Brush and its numerous techniques. He has spent an extended period of time living in the hem of Sakuya’s kimono but has also wandered the land of Nippon, making him an excellent guide. After sealing the village and its inhabitants in a mystical peach, Sakuya uses the last of her strength to summon the great sun goddess Amaterasu into the statue of the legendary white wolf Shiranui who, together with the hero Izanagi, had saved the village a hundred years previously during Orochi’s last rampage.Īs you’ve probably guessed by now, you take the role of Amaterasu but what’s a hero’s journey without an amusing side-kick? Ratchet has Clank, Jak has Daxter and Amaterasu has Issun, a tiny little wandering artist with a hat made from a leaf, a sharp tongue and even sharper calligraphy brush. The tiny village of Kamiki stands no hope of surviving the destruction but for the power of Sakuya-hime, the enchanting spirit of the konohana tree. A once beautiful landscape of lakes and fields, rivers and konohana trees bursting with cherry blossom has become a dark wasteland. Mixing myth with a unique graphical style, that of brush and ink art known as sumi-e, it tells the story of peaceful land cursed by the reappearance of the eight-headed demon Orochi. Simply put, Okami is one of the last great PS2 games. So if, like Amaterasu in Japanese legend, you’ve been hiding in a cave for the last year, let us explain. Yet, almost a year after the game’s release in Japan and five months after Clover’s closure, it’s finally hitting the UK and, boy, are we glad. It seems a shame that the release of such a beautiful game as Okami should be overshadowed by the closure of Clover Studio, the small Capcom-owned studio which created it.
