Japanese American inside barracks

This black and white photograph depicts a person sitting at the entrance of what appears to be an old wooden structure, possibly part of a housing complex. The number "1" is visibly marked on the ground near the steps leading into the building, indicating it may be one in a series or designated as such for some reason. A woman can be seen seated behind a curtain-covered window inside the entrance; her presence suggests she might live within this structure.

The wooden walls show signs of wear and weathering, with cracks visible on certain areas, possibly due to age or exposure to harsh conditions. The building is labeled "KOMA SUNDAY," which could refer either to its name or a specific community or group associated with it.

In the foreground lies various objects such as wooden planks and blocks of wood placed haphazardly against the structure's exterior, hinting at construction work or repairs being carried out. The overall atmosphere evokes feelings of isolation and simplicity in living conditions during what might have been challenging times for Japanese Americans given historical context regarding internment camps.

The photograph is credited to Dorothea Lange (64832420ba25398d907dbfad), suggesting it was taken by renowned photographer, who captured many compelling images of American life during the early 1900s.
