A woman with a flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, leans over a table with her right knee on a bench while talking to a woman in charge of room assignments. Mine wears a vest over a short-sleeve top and skirt, and carries a bag across her shoulders. A jacket and wrapped parcel are placed on the bench beside her. A sack tagged with her family number, 13660, lies at her feet. To her right, a little girl sits on the bench, wearing a dress affixed with another number tag, 13740. A suitcase tagged with the same number sits in the foreground. Another woman stands in the right foreground.
