A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, carries a sheaf of papers as she walks past a row of stables and barracks. Victory gardens are planted in front of the buildings in raised beds. A woman in an apron hangs laundry from a bucket onto a clothes line. A group of men and women gather on a porch built outside the stables. The stable entrances are numbered 16 through 20.
