Only 1 Lacquer producer left, in a garage in Japan?


Can someone comment on this.
I had read this article about 3 months ago.  When I saw the headlines about Apollo burning down, I found it again.
This article states:

“There are only two companies worldwide that produce lacquers. One of these companies is a one-man operation in Japan run by an old man who produces the lacquers in his garage."

I sure hope his garage is 10,000 square feet...

Most new pressings suck any how. Buy good well cared for used records, they will sound better than most anything pressed today. You can still find original first pressings still sealed or In near mint condition at a premium (but worth it) price. All my own opinion of course.....😁
