Color Mapping
Note Each element category is rendered in a dominant hue from one of four Japanese designers — Kazumasa Nagai, Ikko Tanaka, Shigeo Fukuda, and Eiko Ishioka — drawn from a 178-sample palette extracted from a Take Nakano (中野豪雄) tribute poster. The mapping is intentional: Fukuda's crimson for the most reactive metals, Tanaka's sage for the organic non-metals, Ishioka's terracotta for rare earths, Nagai's signature orange for the alkaline earths.

Twenty Allied Operations

U.S., Australian, Canadian, Brazilian, and Greenlandic REE projects — the build-out beyond Chinese supply concentration. Status as of Q1 2026; sources USGS · MP Materials FY25 · Lynas FY25 · Arafura · Iluka.

Allied Capital — deployed by segment
U.S. federal allocations follow the bottleneck. Mining gets the public-record glory; separation and magnets get the dollars.

Method
Operations curated for strategic significance, not exhaustiveness. Funding figures reflect publicly disclosed federal awards (DoD/DoW/DOE); commercial debt and equity recorded where directly tied to a federal commitment. Magnet-critical and China-restricted lists track the April 2025 and October 2025 MOFCOM announcements (the latter suspended Nov 7 2025). Color palette derives from a Take Nakano poster of Nagai · Tanaka · Fukuda · Ishioka.
