Interesting interlocking rocks on Kume Island. They’re called tatami rocks after the Japanese floor matting, but they look more like turtle shells to me.

A friend and I spent a weekend on Kume a few years back. She had lived on Kume for 14 years and I actually have a night shot of this location. She said they were called the turtle rocks. So I’m guessing they are called both.
