From the Getty Museum record
View of a woman and four children standing on one of many platforms at the Yahata steel mill in Kitakyūshū. The children are all separately engaged: one plays with a ball, one sits against the railing, one stands with his arms out and his back to the camera. Each platform is lined on both sides with metal railings, and tall bamboo poles are strapped to the railings at various points. Several Japanese flags fly among the poles, and smokestacks are visible in the distance.
