A woman with a flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo sits on the roof of a building at the Tanforan Assembly Center. Mine, in the center foreground with her back to the viewer, observes the activities of the residents below: two women converse, another hangs laundry, children play. Cultivated fields lie in the background beyond the barbed wire fence surrounding the center. A manned guard tower lies on the eastern perimeter next to a streetcar line, which runs parallel to the fence. Utility poles line the tracks and a street car is visible in the background.
