A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, bids farewell to friends who have gathered for her departure from camp. She sheds a tear as she shakes hands with an elderly woman in the left foreground who also cries. A man in a hat looks on. Two women and one man are similarly gathered next to them in the right foreground. A line of people head toward the exit gate to be checked by the WRA and army before boarding buses or trucks.
