PEARL Honu Gyo-san "Fluorescent Clear"
The "Honu Gyosan Sandals" are a slide-type sandal that pursues convenience through a different approach from thong-type sandals, bringing together the domestic production technology that Marunaka Kogyosho is proud of.
The "fully integrated molded (PVC resin)" construction was built by refining only practicality for the "safety" and "survival" of professionals who brave Japan's harsh waters.
From the upper band to the sole, everything is connected with a single molecular structure, so the risk of damage due to seams or adhesive peeling is completely eliminated structurally.
On the instep, a graphic of "Honu (sea turtle)," considered a symbol of good luck in Hawaii, is three-dimensionally molded.
They use uniquely blended high-quality domestic polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
These sandals offer the convenience of a slide-on design that can be slipped on and off quickly, seamlessly connecting all boundaries of daily life.

PEARL
The "Gyosan" sandals, made by Marunaka Kogyosho's PEARL, are the ultimate expression of minimalism, sharpened purely for practicality to ensure the "safety" and "survival" of professionals navigating Japan's harsh waters.For over half a century, Marunaka Kogyosho has consistently maintained the universal stance of domestic production quality, meticulously managing molds and molding with Nara's artisanal craftsmanship.
The "fully integrated molding (PVC)", which connects the upper and sole with a single molecular structure, boasts incredible durability where the thong never breaks even during intense movement, overwhelming grip on wet decks, and high self-cleaning properties as it absorbs no water.
It was not us who named them, but the fishermen and people living by the sea in Ogasawara who, with respect and familiarity for their overwhelming slip resistance and toughness, began calling them "sandals for those engaged in fishing" or "Gyosan." This is a real story where users defined the 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 work environments, we will continue to faithfully deliver this unchanging footwear, which embodies the beauty of utility.
