Keshigomu
Keshi (Japanese language, Japanese: 消し or ケシ) aka ''keshigomu'' (消しゴム, literally "erase rubber") is the Japanese word for eraser. In modern "keshi" refers to a collectible miniature figure, often of a manga or anime character, made of coloured hard rubber. However, the word's reference has broadened beyond its etymological meaning, as keshi are made of several types of rubber, ranging in appearance from opaque matte to transparent. Also, some lines, such as the "Cosmos Souls Keshi Gum" (コスモスザウルス消しゴム, ''kosumosu saurusu keshi gomu''), use plastic parts. Keshi figures are not necessarily based on Japanese comic book or TV series franchises, since there are keshi dedicated to video games (''Super Mario (series), Super Mario'', ''The Legend of Zelda series, Zelda'', etc.) and some western lines are based on local mythologies and popular culture. A similar product is often mistakenly thought be keshi, the pencil cap toy (ペンシル キャッ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
