BEWARE OF FAKE JAPANESE ERASERS FROM CHINA.  Some stores mix in Chinese fakes among the real Japanese erasers, all just to make few extra dollars, click on picture below to see details.
ILLEGAL COUNTERFEITS. CATCH THEM IF YOU CAN!
FACTORY/Fakes.JPG
CLICK TO SEE DETAILS
These are fake copies made in China, they have nothing to do with Japan, but they call themselves "Japanese Erasers" and use fake Japanese sounding names.  They cost 2-3 cents piece to make in very dirty factories in China, but by calling them "Japanese Erasers" they can sell them for same price as real Japanese erasers, they make a huge profit by selling fakes. There is NO difference between these fakes than fake watches, fake purses, fake toys, fake drugs, fake auto parts. How do they do it? just buy our real Japanese erasers, copy them in China with cheap materials in polluting factories with workers making 20 cents an hour 16 hours a day and sell through stores which are willing to do it to make profit by cheating American children and parents.  Don't let them get away with it.

We make many parts separately by colors, together they form puzzle erasers. There is no compromise for safety, no substitute for quality and no shortcut taken. 100% made in Japan.

EDUCATIONAL PUZZLE

Parts of different colors can be taken apart and put them back together, it is a fun way to train children finger skill, association and relationship of varies objects and shapes.

EFFECTIVE

Our erasers marked 87.7% in erase test. Every corner of the eraser can be used as real eraser, effective to the last bit, the beauty is more than skin deep.

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY

Our Japanese erasers are made from styrene resin which make less pollution when burned, uses less energy in production, and they are recyclable, the packaging paper and bag are recycled or recyclable.

ORIGINAL DESIGNS

We create our own original designs and do not use comic characters, children play with erasers in self generated imagination without the influence of commercial cartoon images.

CLEANNESS

Our Japanese erasers are individually packaged in protective bags, made in clean environment with clean equipments, original materials and local Japanese workers.
