Black and white image. A family identified as Ainu aborigines pose outdoors. The man has long dark hair and beard and wears a robe-like garment that is secured by a piece of cloth that is tied around his waist. He holds a bundle of straw-like material on his lap. Next to the man is a boy who holds his mother's hand. He is dressed in a striped patterned robe and sandals. The woman is also dressed in an ankle length robe and sandals. She carries an infant on her back in a possible cotton, or burlap carrier. Various grasses and a partial view of dwellings are visible in the background.
