PEARL Honu Gyo-san "Fluorescent Yellow"
The "Honu Gyosan Sandals" are slide-type sandals that pursue convenience through a different approach than thong-type sandals, embodying the culmination of Marunaka Kogyosho's proud domestic production technology.
They feature a "completely integrated molded (PVC resin)" structure, built with only practicality in mind for the "safety" and "survival" of professionals who brave Japan's harsh waters.
From the upper band to the sole, everything is connected in a single molecular structure, structurally eliminating the risk of damage due to joints between parts or adhesive peeling.
The instep features a three-dimensional casting of "Honu" (sea turtle), considered a symbol of good luck in Hawaii.
They are made from a uniquely blended, high-quality domestic polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
With the convenience of a slide-on, slide-off design, these sandals seamlessly connect every aspect of daily life.

PEARL
The Gyosan sandals, made by Marunaka Kogyosho's PEARL, embody ultimate minimalism, born from a relentless pursuit of practicality to ensure the "safety" and "survival" of professionals navigating Japan's harsh aquatic environments.For over half a century, Marunaka Kogyosho has steadfastly maintained the consistent quality of domestic production, meticulously managing molding and shaping processes with Nara's artisanal craftsmanship.
The "fully integrated molding (PVC)" that connects the upper to the sole in a single molecular structure boasts unparalleled strength, preventing the thong from ever coming loose even during intense activity, an overwhelming grip on wet decks, and high self-cleaning properties that completely repel water.
We didn't name them ourselves; it was the Ogasawara fishermen and people who live by the sea who, with respect and affection for their outstanding slip resistance and toughness, began to call them "fishing industry sandals = Gyosan," a true origin where users defined their value.
Without being swayed by fleeting trends, Marunaka Kogyosho continues to maintain the tough cutting and robust practicality it perfected from the very beginning.
From everyday wear to the most demanding workplaces, we will continue to faithfully deliver this unchanging footwear, a masterpiece of functional beauty.
