The Hagoromo story is interesting, I guess since it's kind of fun/cool/quirky with niche interest in something seemingly mundane, like blackboard chalk. I couldn't read the NYT story due to paywall, but the backstory is at least on the Wikipedia page about the chalk [1]. If you're in the US, it's available on Amazon where they have their official store front [2]. It's $22 for a box of 72 whites, $29 for the 5-color mix.
