When people use an eraser, they usually use one of the corners. That’s because the pointy-nature of a corner provides them with the accuracy needed to remove errant characters and marks. Since the standard eraser only has eight corners, what happen if all the corners have been used and rounded down? Of course, the eraser becomes less effective.

Knowing that, Kokuyo Co. Ltd. decided to make Kakokeshi Plastic Eraser, the first eraser in the world which has 28 corners, over 3 times corners than the normal rectangular eraser. Now with more corners, they hope the eraser will have longer effective usage time. Also, the design make it possible to cut the corner that has been rounded off, and give access to a new corner.
