After only watching one episode of Master Keaton, I could tell that Mushishi is similar. Ginko travels and solves problems with mushi, and Keaton solves problems for (insurance problems if the anime stays consistent) people who are in trouble. They both have the slice of life style pace, and from what I hear it is kind of episodic. But you probably would have heard of Mushishi before this one.

Ginko and Keaton both solve issues effectively in their day-to-day activities, while maintaining a carefree appearance that always manages to surprise strangers when their expertise and abilities come to light. The episodes themselves are highly varied both in substance and tone, ensuring that the viewer will never become bored while watching. Mushishi is a supernatural series while Master Keaton is very much rooted in our modern-day reality, but it's very hard not to find that the two are evocative of the same feeling and the same style.
Mushishi and Master Keaton both have a mature protagonist who travels from places to places and helps people with their problems. While Ginko from Mushishi is specialised in supernatural, Keaton deals with a wide variety of situations, sometimes making use the knowledge he acquired on history, archaeology and military, but mostly being the witness of touching stories from all around the world, sometimes mere spectator.
While Mushishi is more fantasy based, the protagonists of both series travel to different areas and help people with their problems using their knowledge obtained throughout their own life.
Calm, slow-paced anime with an episodic format. The protagonist is a man in with knowledge and expertise in an unusual field, which he uses to aid people during his travels. Be it archaeology or mushi, he won't turn down a chance to deepen his understanding while helping someone in need.
