Here goes the list:

Victas V Series? (not sure about this one)

Tibhar Evolution are ESN (100%), so are Victas V-15 extra, V-11 extra etc.; just the VJ are Made in Japan, the VJC-07 sticky extra is hybrid (jap sponge/chinese topsheet).

ITC rubbers are from Japan.

Tibhar: All right folks, come up with an idea to make these sheeple think Evolution is "Made in Japan".
Marketing: We'll print Japanese characters all over the package and ditch "Made in Germany", list the hardness with both JPN and EUR prefixes, but spin and speed with only a JPN prefix. Get it a JTTAA stamp. They won't be able to tell.
Tibhar: Bravo!

I did not...

Anyway, I wonder what would be the purpose of such a compiled list. Maybe OP could fill us in.

This is a list that would help all the players looking for a quality rubber who do not like to change rubbers every often and who change rubbers once a year.

I see. Unfortunately I have the impression that the japanese rubber production seems be declining (apart from Butterfly).

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?19957-Daiki-Rubber-No-More

So it could very well be that some or many rubbers on that list won't be available in the near future because they will have been discontinued. So players using rubbers from that list would likely have to find an alternative...

Yes you're right,
however, people like me keep favourite rubbers in stock for the coming years. Hence, even though the manufacturing has stopped, we can stock them

example:
I still have backup pairs of

- Donic Coppa Jo Gold
- Moristo
- Barracuda
- Roundell Hard
- Mantra H and M

OK, maybe I should consider this for my favourite chinese rubber, the Sanwei Target National (I had sheets so tacky it could hold the ball for 7-8 seconds). Don't know how long the STN will be availabe...

Are there any new rubbers that are Japanese made other than Stiga Mantra Pro series?

Don't rubbers degrade over time?

Nexy Etika and Etika Pro, Nittaku Hammond Z2, Neottec X5, Mizuno Q Quality, Q Power, Q1, Mantra Pros, Mantra Control, Mantra Spin, Juic has some veeeeeeeery obscure rubbers.
I don't know about short pips or long pips, that is a shitfest anyway.
