A woman with a flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, stands in the center ground, on a hill overlooking the barracks. She holds her nose to protect herself from the smell coming from the sewage swamp located a half mile west of camp. A man wearing a hat and leaning on a cane, stands behind her, covering his face with his forearm. Another man in front of her, faces the viewer's right and holds his nose. Mountains and clouds are visible in the distance.
