PEARL Gyosan "Fluorescent Orange"
This is the Calypso model of the "Gyosan" integrated sandal, which has supported professionals' feet for over half a century, bringing together the domestic production technology that Marunaka Kogyosho is proud of.
It features a "fully integrated (PVC resin)" structure, meticulously crafted to prioritize only practicality, ensuring the "safety" and "survival" of professionals working in Japan's challenging waters.
Unlike typical flip-flops, the thong is structurally designed to completely eliminate issues of slipping out during walking or intense movement.
It uses uniquely blended high-quality domestic polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
This provides tough durability, a moderate weight, and an excellent fit that feels like it adheres firmly to the soles of your feet.
This footwear steadfastly embodies the "functional beauty as a tool," reverse-engineered from the safety and survival needs in harsh aquatic environments.

PEARL
The "Gyosan" sandals produced by PEARL, a brand of Marunaka Kogyosho, embody the ultimate minimalism, refined to prioritize only practicality, ensuring the "safety" and "survival" of professionals navigating Japan's challenging waters. This universal aesthetic has been maintained for over half a century, with Marunaka Kogyosho consistently upholding domestic production quality through meticulous mold and molding management based on Nara's artisanal techniques. The "fully integrated molding (PVC)" connecting the upper to the sole in a single molecular structure boasts a robust design where the thongs never come loose even during intense movement, offers overwhelming grip on wet decks, and possesses high self-cleaning properties as it absorbs no water. It was not us who coined the name; rather, fishermen and people living by the sea in Ogasawara began calling them "sandals for fishery workers = Gyosan" out of respect and familiarity for their exceptional slip resistance and toughness – a real origin where the users themselves defined their value. Without being swayed by trends, Marunaka Kogyosho continues to maintain the tough cutting and robust practicality it perfected from the outset. From everyday wear to the most demanding sites, we will steadfastly continue to deliver this unchanging footwear, which has mastered the beauty of utility.LL: Outsole 26.5cm, Heel 1.8cm
