George,

The only "correct" spelling is in Japanese Kanji characters, of course, which are not phonetic. The Romanji, or phonetic, representation is normally "Dentori."

Doesn't matter if you use upper or lower case, since there is no case in Japanese anyway.

If you're interested in trivia, "dentori" consists of two Kanji characters. The first, "den," usually means "electric" (actually "lightning") and the second, "tori," usually stands for "take" (as in "take the bread out of the oven").

Cheers,
Egon

Dumb question:
I've used the term "Dentori-T" mark when referring to the Japan
mark authorized by MITI. Lately I have seen this spelled as
"Dentory", even on foils presented by Japanese companies.
I am confused. Which is the correct spelling:
Dentori or Dentory
