Earnest Erasers

Kadokeshi - Kokuyo

The idea for this unique shaped plastic eraser is that 28 corners are better than 8. According to the maker of the Kadokeshi, Kokuyo Co. Ltd., when people use a standard rectangular eraser, they always use one of the corners for the pointy-nature of a corner provides them with the accuracy needed to remove errant characters and marks. However, when all eight corners of a rectangular erases have been rounded down, the eraser becomes less effective and people don’t want to use it. Therefore, this new design gives the user plenty of corners, 28 corners. When one of the cubes of this eraser becomes completely rounded off, you just cut it off, giving you access to new corners again. Kadokeshi put on the market on May of 2003, sales of 1 million pieces are achieved within 1 year.
