PEARL Honu Gyo-san "Fluorescent Pink"
"Honu Gyosan Sandals," a slide-type sandal that embodies Marunaka Kogyosho's proud made-in-Japan technology, pursuing convenience with an approach different from thong-type sandals.
A "fully integrated molding (PVC resin)" construction, honed for practicality alone, built for the "safety" and "survival" of professionals living in 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 seams or adhesive peeling.
On the instep, a three-dimensional graphic of "Honu" (sea turtle), a symbol of good luck in Hawaii, is cast.
Made with uniquely blended, high-quality domestically produced polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
These sandals offer the convenience of a slide-type design, easy to slip on and off, seamlessly connecting all aspects of daily life.

PEARL
The gyosan sandals made by Marunaka Kogyosho's PEARL brand are the ultimate in minimalism, a result of refining practicality for the "safety" and "survival" of professionals working in Japan's harsh waters.For over half a century, Marunaka Kogyosho has consistently maintained domestic production quality, with thorough mold and molding management by artisans in Nara, resulting in a timeless design.
The "completely integrated molding (made of PVC)" that connects the upper and sole with a single molecular structure boasts incredible strength, ensuring the thong never breaks even during intense activity, overwhelming grip on wet decks, and high self-cleaning properties that prevent water absorption.
We didn't name them ourselves; fishermen and people living in Ogasawara began calling them "sandals for fishery workers = gyosan" out of respect and familiarity for their overwhelming slip resistance and toughness. 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 start.
From everyday wear to the most demanding environments, we will continue to faithfully deliver these unchanging sandals, which embody the beauty of utility.
