A balding man in a striped vest, long pants and a long sleeve shirt, sits outdoors on a rock, reading aloud from a stack of papers. A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, stands in profile in the right foreground, holding a paper over her head to shade herself from the sun. Barracks, mountains, low-lying scrub bushes, electric poles, wire fencing, and two watchtowers are visible in the background.
