Karibari

We are planning to build a karibari drying board for our paper lab.
We have found someone to make the framework with the traditional
joinery.  We are currently looking for a source for kakishibu, the
fermented persimmon coating.  Does anyone know of a U.S. supplier?
Is it feasible to substitute a pre-made persimmon-coated paper?
