A woman dressed in an overcoat and carrying a handbag, Mine Okubo, looks to the her right as she walks along a wooden pathway leading to the steps of her house. She is rushing home in order to make the 8 p.m to 6 a.m. curfew established on March 24, 1942 by Public Proclamation No. 3. In the left midground, a policeman, wearing a cap and holding a baton, stands next to a street lamp with his back to the viewer. Houses line the curving street in the background.
