About Frixion

The pen itself is a special item with pale colors pearl orange, pearl pink, and pearl green, and an oval logo with a vintage soldier motif based on Laura Ashley’s popular Royal Guards and a strawberry motif on the clip plate.
What is Frixion?
This is a huge hit product by Pilot Corporation that was released in Japan in 2007 and pioneered a new genre of writing utensils called “erasable ballpoint pens.”
As its name derives from the word “friction,” this groundbreaking ballpoint pen, which disappears when you rub your written words with a special rubber, has been a sensation all over the world since its release.
