The present invention relates to relates to a thermochromic writing instrument that may use thermochromic ink and erase a written content by generating heat with a frictional member provided thereat.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a thermochromic writing instrument including: a body configured to be provided with a knock mechanism that exposes a thermochromic writing part to the outside or accommodates the thermochromic writing part; a rib configured to be provided at an inner circumferential surface of the body to protrude in a central line direction of the body; a moving member configured to move along the inside of the body; a frictional member configured to be provided at one side of the moving member to protrude out of the body; a weight configured to be provided at the other side of the moving member to contact or to not contact the knock mechanism according to movement of the moving member; and a guide configured to be disposed between the outside of the moving member and the inside of the body to move along the inside of the body and to be spaced apart from an outer circumferential surface of the moving member by a predetermined interval.

A writing implement has a writing tip extending from the barrel for writing and a rubbing element that surrounds the writing tip that is selectively extendable from a housing to erase or change color of the writing and retractable into the housing for storage.
