A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, and her brother Toku, are escorted to their barrack by three women who are acquaintances. They carry one suitcase apiece and all appear to struggle against the wind and dust. The three women wear head scarves; one wears a homemade dust mask. Mountains, clouds, barracks, and utility poles are visible in the background.
