Description:
This 25-minute film follows Itako, an elderly woman who has been bedridden for a long time. A fox named Okon visits her home, and Itako offers him anything he desires, as she needs nothing. Pleased, Okon reciprocates by performing a healing magic song (jyōruri) that restores Itako's health, allowing her to walk again. News of her recovery spreads, and Itako uses Okon to heal a wounded hunter. This act of kindness continues with others, but Itako's good fortune eventually attracts unwanted attention and suspicion.
