Once you start roaming around on our website you will notice some very familiar erasers. Yes, we do have a lot of unique and rare erasers that you will not find anywhere else but we also carry a very popular brand. This brand is Iwako Erasers. Iwako is the name of the company that produces these erasers. They are not located in the United States but they are actually located in Japan. Yep, that cute little eraser that you are holding traveled all the way from Japan to live with KidsErasers.com for a short time before going to your home. Iwako erasers was established in June of 1968. They say that their company started with the question "why are there only rectangular erasers"? They say that they have a passion for turning everything into erasers. Now that is fun! The thing that I can appreciate the most is that not only are these super cute but they are actually very high quality. These erasers were tested by the Japanese Industrial Standard and not only did they perform great, but they exceeded the requirements by 7%. An important part of the erasers are the colors. They have chosen to mix the coloring into the mold. This way, the color is permanent.  Other eraser manufacturers paint the colors on. If you erase with an eraser that has been painted, then you can erase all the color away. With Iwako erasers, every particle of the eraser has color and will never come off.
