Have you tried the local garden centers?  I'm not sure if what they sell is Tonkin.

I know Jaap (Nacht Wacht) sells Japanese bamboo. Most of the garden centers have the Tonkin cane.
They both make excellent arrow shafts.

Tower, look up A.M. Leonard landscaping supply out of Ohio. You can buy bundles of fairly straight Tonkin shaft that will last a long time. How many do you need? If is not a lot pm me and I'll get you some.

I bought some from Iktomi at the leatherwall, and I thought they were really nice shafts at a fair price.

I've never used the Tonkin cane and was wondering what should be the approximate diameter for a 30" arrow, #50-#55 spine? Thanks, Eric
