Tonoko: Panic is occurring in Japan.
In Japan, the manufacturer of *tonoko* is set to go out of business by the end of the year, causing something of a panic within the lacquer industry.
Major lacquer shops like Tsutsumi and Minowa have already sold out of their stock.
Procuring *tonoko* for *sabi-urushi* (lacquer putty) applications may become difficult in the future.
I recommend that anyone who practices *kintsugi* professionally gather information on this situation.
