A woman with a flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, struggles to walk through mud left on the ground when the snow melted. She leans forward and takes large steps. A man in a knit hat and checkered jacket, walking the opposite direction behind her, also struggles as mud sticks to his shoes. A ultility pole stands in the left foreground. Barracks and another pole are visible in the distant left background.
