There is an Asian faerie tale about a magical fox who wears a white scarf and talks to the humans, but only to those who are without guile. In our story, the myth of the fox with the white scarf is mixed with two wars and two romances almost four hundred years apart, but connected by blood and circumstance, love and honor, and a jumble of languages, nations and cultures. The background is Japan and Korea, the dilemmas are universal.
