A woman with a flipped forelock of hair and cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, stands in profile in the foreground among a crowd lining the road to welcome new residents arriving by bus from Tule Lake. Passengers descend from a bus parked in front of an induction barrack. Two figures sit on the roof of the barrack while another sits in a window frame. Two men stand on a wooden crate to look in another window. A man stands in a clearing with two dogs. Four barracks are visible in the background.
