…Even mini erasers. These popular collectibles in Japan inhabit a shop all of their own on 10th St., very much hidden in between 1st and 2nd Ave. Who knew? The tiny store, Aica, sells little more than mini erasers in the randomest of shapes: bananas, toothpaste, fast food, ice cream cones, etc.
Erasers have become obsolete in my life since I swore off pencils after completing my final math class in college, but you can’t resist their charm, even if they are useless, for 99 cents a piece at Aica.

This seems like a cool store! Reminds me back of the good old days when we used to collect mini erasers (they weren’t nearly as fancy looking though!). I want to go buy one for old times sake. haha

Those erasers are so cute! I kind of want to buy some pretty ones and display them on my desk.
