﻿You’ve seen standard pink rubber erasers and maybe even white plastic erasers,
but have you ever seen an eraser like this?
Or this?
Today, we’re showing you six of the most unique and possibly overengineered Japanese erasers.
Be sure to check out our previous Overengineered Stationery videos too.
Let’s get started.
Endless Corners
A normal eraser has eight corners, but the Kokuyo Kadokeshi brings it to the next level:
it has 28 corners!
With so many corners, you’ll always have a sharp corner to erase with,
although the inner corners are harder to reach–they’re meant to be used as the eraser wears down.
If you want to reach the inner corners, you may have to fiddle with it before you get the right angle.
Motorized Eraser
When it comes to being overengineered, the Sakura Sumo Grip Electric Eraser takes the cake.
Perfect for cleaning up art projects, diagrams, and more,
it boasts a powerful yet quiet motor and a precise 4.5 mm tip.
The motor rotates the eraser 10,000 times per minute!
The Sumo Grip comes with 20 eraser refills and two eraser holders, so it’ll last a long time.
Precise Erasing
The Kokuyo Mirikeshi Eraser has an odd shape, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.
It has five edges with different widths so you can erase mistakes of specific sizes.
The corner, 3 mm, and 4 mm sizes are ideal for single letters or small errors,
while the 5 mm and 6 mm sizes work for entire lines or larger handwriting.
It’s also available in a fun mini size!
Slim Design
For incredibly precise erasing, you can’t go wrong with a Tombow Mono Zero Retractable Eraser.
Featuring Tombow’s iconic Mono eraser formulation, it offers two sizes and shapes:
a 2.3 mm round eraser, and a 2.5 mm rectangular eraser.
The refill is housed in a sturdy metal holder with a clip that easily attaches to books or pockets.
If you want something even slimmer, check out the Seed Slendy + Super Slim Knock Eraser!
It’s an impressive 2 mm wide.
A strong metal sleeve firmly holds the eraser in place, so it won’t break easily.
Not to mention, its ultra slim design allows it to attach to notebooks with less bulk.
Transparent Body
Have you ever used a transparent eraser before?
The Seed Clear Eraser is made of see-through plastic, so you know exactly where you’re erasing.
Because of its soft material, the shavings are clumpy rather than dusty.
The sleeve has notches in its corners that distribute pressure between the eraser and sleeve, reducing potential nicks.
Two-in-One
The Nakabayashi Logical Eraser is actually two erasers in one!
The larger white section is softer and geared towards erasing large areas with a light touch.
The narrow black section is firmer, designed for removing small mistakes.
Slide the bottom forwards for precise erasing, then back in the other direction when you want to use the larger eraser.
Both sections are made of dust-gathering polymer, so the shavings clump up for easy cleaning.
