A Japanese Eraser Icon, Built for Serious Scribblers
TOMBOW MONO has been Japan's benchmark eraser since its signature striped sleeve first appeared in 1969, and this Student version is purpose-built for the thick, soft pencils Australian primary classrooms love — 2B, 4B and 6B. These dark, soft lead grades are notoriously hard to lift with an ordinary eraser, but MONO clears them in just a few passes, so homework pages stay tidy instead of smeared — just as useful for young artists as it is for students.
Product Features:
- Sturdy, break-resistant eraser block that erases dark, soft leads like 4B and 6B in fewer strokes than an ordinary eraser
- Notched, U-shaped sleeve corners that sit flush against the eraser instead of digging in
- Grooved, textured sleeve for a non-slip grip that stops fingers slipping mid-erase
- Perforated sleeve lets you tear off and shorten it as the eraser gets used up — no scissors needed
- A name column on the sleeve makes it easy to label for school
- Phthalate-free eraser compound

Notes:
- Not a toy — intended for school and study use; adult supervision recommended for young children

- Wipe away loose eraser crumbs with a dry cloth. Rubber-based erasers like this one can react with and soften nearby plastic items over time, so keep it in its sleeve when not in use and store it away from direct heat and other plastic or vinyl items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this really erase 6B pencil marks completely?
Dark, soft leads like 4B and 6B are notoriously hard to lift with an ordinary eraser, but MONO is designed to clear them in far fewer strokes with minimal residue. Very heavy layering may need an extra pass, but it noticeably outperforms a standard eraser on dark graphite.
Is this eraser suitable for young children?
Yes — it's designed for primary school students and is compact and easy to grip in smaller hands. As with any small stationery item, adult supervision is recommended for very young children.
What does "MONO" mean and why is the sleeve striped?
MONO is TOMBOW's original eraser range, launched in Japan in 1969. The blue, black and white striped sleeve has become the recognisable signature of the MONO eraser ever since.
Does the eraser sleeve tear cleanly as it wears down?
Yes — the sleeve has perforated lines so you can tear off the end as the eraser gets smaller, without needing scissors.
