This is one of my Futamigaura inspired paintings. Futamigaura is a real place, the name of a beach in Ise, and the home of Meoto-iwa - the "Wedded Rocks" (I think most people just say Futamigaura though). I spent a month in Ise but never saw these rocks, it was only later on a visit to the Ota Museum in Tokyo that I saw Hiroshige's print and became aware of them.

Here are some other artist's versions - Shoda Koho here, Kawase Hasui here and here, somebody else here.

Someone just told me they look like the Pac-Man ghosts.
