Jishingumo (a Touhou LW original) refers to mysterious cloud formations that are said to appear before and after earthquakes. Koishi's habit of spontaneously leaving Former Hell, which is deep underground, and going to the surface is reminiscent of the unpredictability of earthquakes. Koishi is endowed with Earth Phase, with her surprising yet apparent common sense, and Star Essence, with her tendency to wander about.
The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.
The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.
Koishi Komeiji's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out heart-shaped bullets from behind her targets. The unconscious mind is most definitely not devoid of thoughts. It merely contains thoughts that are below the level of conscious awareness. Don't you think it would be wonderful to be able to use your unconscious mind to communicate with others?

Koishi Komeiji's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She appears to be frantically throwing heart-shaped bullets in this attack. The way she moves makes it look like she is dancing, albeit awkwardly, and that makes her look kind of cute. Koishi can easily dance even unconscious... but why does she dance?

Koishi Komeiji's Spell Card. This attack forces her target into a state of paranoia, where they believe that they're being persistently targeted. If you ever feel like you've become embroiled in a plot, or that your friends are betraying your secrets, or that you're constantly being observed... you may just be tired. That's what the person standing behind you thinks too.

Koishi Komeiji's Spell Card. She shoots out a double helix made of heart-shaped bullets and then scatters them in all directions. DNA is a type of genetic material and is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. According to a certain notable scholar, there is a thing called the collective unconscious, which acts kind of like a genetic model and explains that common ancestry is the reason why different groups of people share similar cultures. When DNA is damaged, there is a risk of mutation. Perhaps something similar happens when the collective unconscious is damaged.

Koishi Komeiji's Last Word. She blankets everything in thorny roses. They apparently have some connection with her unconscious mind. Although her unconscious mind harbors her pure and innocent feelings, it may also contain a defensive ferocity born from this innocence. The rose with its thorns could be symbolic of this. Perhaps this ferocity will fade when someone accepts her for who she is―thorns and all.

Character Ability
Capable of manipulating the unconscious mind
Expand
This terrifying ability allows Koishi to control the unconscious minds of others. She can use this ability to go completely unnoticed by others. It is so powerful that when she went to the Youkai Mountain, she passed right beneath the noses of the tengu guards and infiltrated all the way to Moriya Shrine undetected. Satori's and Miko's powers also don't work on her because of this ability. Koishi makes use of this ability in battles of bullets to make others relive memories that they have suppressed in their unconscious mind. According to Byakuren, this ability is not a result of Koishi closing her heart off to others, but of emptying her heart almost completely of emotion. This ability may appear unbeatable at first glance, but Reisen is able to sense her presence through ESP waves.
When using Boost, own Yin ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).
Own CRIT Accuracy3 level(s) UP (1 turn). [Additional effect +0 with success rate 0%]

Koishi Komeiji was released on September 3rd, 2021 in Festival: The Open & Closed Eyes.
Koishi Komeiji is a satori originally introduced to us as the Extra stage boss of Subterranean Animism and Satori Komeiji's younger sister. Koishi is unique among the typical satori in the sense that she doesn't actually have the ability to read minds like her older sister. This is because, loathing the fact she was hated by the world for reading their minds, she intentionally sealed away her third eye. Instead, Koishi's abilities revolve around the unconscious. This is because Koishi's "mind", or third eye, is closed. Because of this Koishi's presence cannot be known by other beings unless she allows it, and after interacting with her, most people tend to forget about her and their interactions with her entirely. Koishi is also able to manipulate other's unconsciousness which translates into making them see anything she wants and often times forcing them to see their own weaknesses. These abilities often lead Koishi to taking up a more scary role albeit unintentionally. However, Koishi pays this no mind and doesn't go out of her way to paint this image of herself. Outside of her abilities Koishi is a carefree and playful young girl though more often than not she appears to be more unsettling than she'd like. In Touhou LostWord, Koishi appears in a similar fashion and ends up being an A-Tier unit.
For farming purposes Koishi is nothing special. At T1 she can hit P2 easily using one of her skills, however, that only gives a small damage boost with an extra Water Break to her single target Last Word. Because of this Koishi rarely does the job in one turn, making her about average for quick clears.
In challenging levels however Koishi can shine when placed in the right situations. Combining all of her Spell Cards Koishi has 9 Water Breaks and 3 Wood Breaks making her a potent option for breaking the Barriers of units weak to Water Elements. This, of course, implies that she spends multiple terms gaining Spirit Power which can take a while. She also has self-crit accuracy and attack support to help maximize her damage using her skills.
All-in-all Koishi proves herself as a decent overall unit who can pack a punch in the right scenarios.
The secondary effects for Koishi's attacks are as follows: Embryo Dance:

Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on January 27, 2023)
If you need Breaks out of Koishi, her best bet is Spirit Power UP. Otherwise, if you need damage out of her, alternate between Yin ATK UP and CRIT ATK UP, in order to maximize her output. For stat sticks, look to Yin ATK.
Since Koishi already bolsters her own Accuracy to a very reliable point, she'll typically prefer Thunder Beat in any fight where she's given a chance to set up, as it provides a unique mix of Energy and Wood DMG UP that perfectly compliments her Last Word. Otherwise, look to anything that provides Yin ATK UP, boosts Energy DMG, or if you're truly pressed for options, anything that boosts either Wood or Water DMG.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
Koishi's skills are nothing crazy. Leveling up Insatiable Curiosity should be your first priority as you'll want as much Spirit Power as you can get for those sweet, sweet elements and it gives a higher average damage overall in turn 1 situations over the rest of her skills due to the front end of Koishi's Spell Cards lacking in crit. Automatic Thoughts and Closed Eye should be leveled up in unison with Automatic Thoughts taking priority.
Character Strengths
+Has a respectably powerful Solo targeting Last Word that deals tremendous damage if given time to set up.
+Slightly above average access to Water breaks, with both Solo and All access to 1/1/3 Breaks for 0/1/2 Spirit Power
Character Weaknesses
-Requires some setup time to get the most out of her
-Many of her buffs and debuffs rely on bullet line RNG
-No team utility
