There are many vantage points from which to view Japan’s towering Mt. Fuji, one of the world’s most iconic mountains. Katsushika Hokusai rendered three dozen of them in his iconic series 36 Views of Mt. Fuji, which he made between 1830 and 1832.

Now, design studio Plus brings the volcanic peak to wherever you work in a series of playful erasers inspired by the celebrated vista and the ukiyo-e artist’s illustrations. When you wear the eraser down, the white interior gradually emerges, eventually revealing a snow-capped Mt. Fuji shape. Fix those mistakes and grab your own in the Colossal Shop.
