This feels like part 1 of a 3 part series. In Part 2, we must visit Japan to learn about how it came to be and why it went out of business. And in Part 3, we go to S.Korea. We learn about the company thats producing chalk from the purchased recipe.

The Japanese company went under because the owner was too old to carry on. Nice to see that someone else is taking it up.
