So in searching for similar questions before posting, I find that people seem to have had a dismal success in locating genuine Japanese style futons. Is this still the case, I wonder? Does Nitori perhaps offer these (I’ve not yet been)?

IKEA has something which somewhat approximates it, but it’s not close enough. MUJI does, but one must place an order, sight unseen, and more importantly, untested, and then wait over a month.
I’ve come to terms with this experience of searching for Japanese items in Taiwan, and finding it a challenge to locate them. From 1895-1945, the authentic goods could be found with great ease, but knowing this perhaps leads foreigners to assume a little too much.
