  The Ooguri-Vafa space is a 4-dimensional incomplete hyperk\"{a}hler manifold,
defined on the total space of a singular torus fibration with one singular
nodal fiber. It has been proposed that the Ooguri-Vafa hyperk\"ahler metric
should be part of the local model of the hyperk\"{a}hler metric of the Hitchin
moduli spaces, near the most generic kind of singular locus of the Hitchin
fibration. In order to relate the Ooguri-Vafa space with the Hitchin moduli
spaces, we show that the Ooguri-Vafa space can be interpreted as a set of rank
2, framed wild harmonic bundles over $\mathbb{C}P^1$, with one irregular
singularity. Along the way we show that a certain twistor family of holomorphic
Darboux coordinates, which describes the hyperk\"{a}hler geometry of the
Ooguri-Vafa space, has an interpretation in terms of Stokes data associated to
our framed wild harmonic bundles.
