A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo stands with her back to the viewer, surveying the unfinished portion of the camp. Her brother Toku stands next to her in profile. A soldier holding a rifle, sits in a wooden booth in the right midground. Part of a single-story building with two chimney vents and two windows, occupies the left midground. Three utility poles line a curving dirt road. An unobstructed view of mountains and fields lie in the distance, as fences and watch towers have yet to be built.
