Editor's Note:
In 1823 vertrok een jonge Duitse arts naar Deshima, de Hollandse handelspost in het toen verder nog volledig van de buitenwereld afgesloten Japan. Zeven jaar later werd hij verbannen uit het land van de Shoguns en daarmee uit de levens van zijn grote liefdes, de concubine Sonogi en hun gezamenlijke dochter Oine. Decennialang deden vader en dochter er alles aan om elkaar weer terug te zien. Franz von Siebold vestigde, nog altijd hopend om terug te kunnen, zijn naam als 's wereld grootste Japanexpert; Oine Kusumoto ontwikkelde ze zich met haar vaders voorbeeld voor ogen tot de eerste vrouwelijke arts in haar land. Maar toen Japan in 1854 eindelijk opengebroken werd en ze elkaar weer in de armen konden sluiten, pakten hun weerzien totaal anders uit dat ze hadden voorzien.
