How to make Keshihan (Handmade Eraser Seal)

1:56 PM , 0 Comments


Recently, in Japan, I see a lot of people who sell or buy the handmade products online. Also, there are many online stores which just deal with the handmade products. It is very nice. Your talent and skill will earn money!

What is Keshihan?

Keshihan is a kind of the coined word. We call the eraser "Keshigomu" and also the seal "Hanko" though, did you know that?

Keshigomu + Hanko = Keshihan

This kind of coined words are often made in Japan. Now this Keshihan is bade on the auctions site in Japan. Usually, we could buy an eraser for 100 yen, but the keshihan is finished bidding for 5,000 yen! 5,000 yen is about 50 USD. Can you believe it? I see many keshihan on Yahoo auctions Japan though, all they are pretty nice. I think you will have the same feeling with me as you see them. Check them out once from the link below.

If you liked your art class, I think you really want to make Keshihan by yourself. Yes, no problem. I found a web page "How to made Keshihan". The instruction is written by Japanese, so I transferred it in English here. Let's try it :)

Tools and Materials

Eraser, 2B pencil, Design knife, Engraving knife, Tweezers, Cutting mat


How to make Keshihan

1. Wash the eraser with water to remove powder attached on the eraser. And then, wipe up with tissue not to scuff the eraser's surface.

2. Do sketching with your pencil

3. Copy your sketching on the eraser. Put the eraser on the sketch, and push strongly using your weight.

4. Cut the eraser remaining blank space. Don't hesitate when you cut it.

5. Let's engrave it. The blogger make instruction in detail, but my English skill couldn't catch up with it. Sorry, please try it by yourself.


When you find your favorite Keshihan, try to bid for it on PIJ!

McDonalds Happy Set "Super Mario Bros"

1:46 AM , 0 Comments

Oh my god!! McDonalds Japan has presented the Happy Set collaborating with Super Mario Bros!! I went to McDonalds to eat Chicken Fillet Deluxe though, my eyes were caught by Super Mario Happy Set Display...! What a cute figures they are! I really wanted to collect all of them, but I couldn't do that because I had to eat the Chicken Fillet Deluxe. I decided to eat the Chicken Fillet Deluxe before we visited McDonalds. Also, Happy Set is for children usually, so I merely order it. Even if I order the Happy Set, I will order another burger set after eating the Happy Set because the set won't satisfy my stomach, maybe. Oh sorry, I wanted to tell you about Happy Set with Super Mario today! I took some pictures for the display. I put them below in this article.

McDonalds is taking this campaign since November 22 in Japan. They said they will finish this Happy Set three weeks later. A happy set has one figure. There are 8 characters like the pictures. However, I never order the Happy Set because the set is prepared for children usually. But I want them. I want to collect them. In the case like this, I always try to find on Yahoo Auctions Japan. This campaign started a week ago, but I thought those figures were listed on the actions site. See the link below.
