I love how every community has their 'thing' that is sought after. Looking up chalk leads down a very narrow rabbit hole.
Some say that Hagoromo sold two of their compression molds to Sejong Corp (who also took the name), while the other went to Uma-Jirushi.
If I had a use for chalk, it'd be fun to try to create the perfect stick. Compression molds aren't hard to find or even make, then its down the mix. I assume that Hagoromo was using more than water and a super fine plaster (e.g. Plaster of Paris) with white Tempura paint..
Has anybody tried making chalk before? I've made chalkboard paint for signage (just unsanded grout and paint), but I never thought to take it a step further.
