This Grandpa & Granddaugher Duo is Saving Japan's Pearl Industry

Toshihiro is one of the oldest pearl farmers in Japan. At the age of 87, he has been producing pearls in the same way for almost 70 years. Although his skills are parallel to none, Japan's pear industry is in decline, as the once vast network of farmers in the region grow old and hang up their hats for good.

But the future is not too bleak, as his 35-year-old granddaughter Nanami has stepped in to learn the trade and also come up with some new innovations that could be the start of the next big pearl craze.

Her brand Seven Three was the first in the world to start selling "goldfish pearls".
Named goldfish pearls because of their uncanny resemblance to tiny little fish, the beautiful shapes are naturally occurring phenomenon and are the latest trend thanks to Nanami's business prowess!
