Five pro-Japanese camp leaders, wearing hats and overcoats, and carrying sticks, appear to intimidate an undecided man against signing the general registration, which questions loyalty. A sixth man, sympathetic to the others stands in the right foreground. A woman in a dark coat, Mine Okubo sticks her tongue out at one of the men. A single barrack is visible in the upper right background.
