A lone woman with Dutch-braided black hair, in an olive drab jacket and black pants with boots, looks out over the valley below where the Kitakami River twists through vast stretches of farmland. A local highway bisects the view. The woman's posture, legs spaced but hands joined in front of her, seems to say in wonder, "I belong to this place and I'm going to do my best for it."
