Honohoshi Beach is a small, rocky shore on a little island in Japan. The stones have been worn perfectly smooth and round by the waves. As the waves go out, you can hear them knock together.

The undulating brioche triangle stitch pattern reminded me of the rhythmic sound of the waves and rocks in motion.
