All Hozuki Pouches in Onimusha: Way of the Sword and How to Get Them

Among the different pieces of equipment you can obtain in Onimusha: Way of the Sword are Hozuki Pouches. These function as the game's rechargeable healing item for use during combat, and there are several different variants, many of which are optional rather than obtained automatically as part of the story.

How to enhance Hozuki Pouches

Once you've obtained a Hozuki Pouch, you can enhance it by talking to Okuni at Rokudo-chinnoji Temple, your base in Kyoto. Keep in mind that you'll need materials to enhance them, just like other pieces of equipment.

How to change Hozuki Pouches

You can change your Hozuki Pouch at any Spirit Mirror or by talking to Okuni. Keep in mind that you can only have one Hozuki Pouch equipped at a time.
