{{Translation|'''Utsugi'''|ウツギ|Bridal Wreath}} is a Hitogata, an enchanted clay doll that was granted life by the [[priest]]/[[miko|priestess]] [[Kakuju]] and the [[Shikigami]] after Kakuju's original lover, Utsugi, died.


==History==
Many attempts were made to breathe life into a doll before the final version of Utsugi succeeded, and the imperfect Utsugi-hitogata were discarded in the valley below Kakuju's village. Kakuju mystically sealed the valley and isolated the village to prevent these wandering, imperfect dolls to escape and harm anyone. Eager to become truly human and please Kakuju, Utsugi joined up with [[Naraku]] and [[Naraku's incarnations|his incarnations]] in order to summon [[Kururugi (disambiguation)|Kururugi]] to the past. Because Kururugi was a descendant of the original Utsugi and gifted with the power of shikigami, Utsugi planned to absorb their soul and become human.

However, things do not go as planned, one by one all of Utsugi's allies fell either by [[Inuyasha]]'s group or by Naraku himself. Once Naraku had been slain, Utsugi took his/her [[Shikon no Tama|Shikon Jewel]] shard and waited in Kururugi Village for the player. However, upon trying to take their soul, Utsugi ends up with Kakuju's via a mystical amulet. To make things worse, the jewel shard turned black and merged into their body, which lead to Naraku possessing and reshaping their body to gain Shikigami power. However, Utsugi broke [[Naraku's barrier|his personal barrier]], allowing Inuyasha and the others to kill him. With his/her dying breath Utsugi apologizes for their deeds and asks to be buried in the cemetery, and last words to his/her descendant that he's/she's sorry and thank you. After Utsugi died, Kururugi has begun to transported back to the [[modern era]].
