A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, faces the viewer in the foreground of the one-room home she shares with many families. Six men and three women sit on cots drinking tea and talking. In the left background, a woman wearing an apron stands in the kitchen area pouring tea. Cups, cooking pots and a hot plate sit on the counter behind her. A window and two drawings are visible on the back wall.
