DescriptionA woman wearing a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, stands in profile in the left foreground watching a man water a vegetable plot. The man is shirtless and has a knotted handkerchief covering the top of his head. He pours water on rows of seedlings using a stick with a perforated tin can nailed to the end. A pail of water sits on the ground by his feet. Cardboard, lumber scraps and cartons are recycled to build makeshift screens to protect the garden from dust storms. More garden plots are visible behind them, as well as barracks.;1 drawing on paper : ink ; image 9.25 x 13 in.
