Supplies

Hello everyone, im looking for sources other then Mejiro site to acquire making supplies
Mostly Rattan strings and Urushi but also other stuff (like joint rings for example).

Any one knows of any?
and also why 2 rin rattan is so expensive while i can get here in Israel 4 rin rattan strings for about 1/100 the price?

also if anyone got an extra for sale it can be an option

Thanks
Smile

Endo-san from Yasuhiro sells supplies, and they are cheaper than Meijiro's rip-off prices, but you would have to be able to deal with it in Japanese. If you think you are up to it, I can send you his address.

Hi Toby, I would like to find bullet-rasps-on-stalks for bore work. Does Yasuhiro do that? best regards, Paul
