Current trend of the resource supply risk is discussed from the viewpoint of MONOTSUKURI (Craftsmanship). What they call depletion of a resource is the incensement of excessive burden of acquisition of resource, not the exhaustion of the resource. The constrains of resource supply has several different types; that of mal-distribution, that from energy constrain, that from environmental constrain, that of discrepancy of supply speed. We need take care the different emergence of each individual metals such as common metals and rare metals. General trend which compromises all of them is that the resources are imported into financial commodity. The resource is no more the origin of value by being utilized, but by being fluctuated. We, MONOTSUKURI Japan have to get set for preparing technologies against this fluctuating supply risk.
