Re: Dentori mark

2000-06-20 Thread Egon H. Varju 


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

Dentori mark

George:

I have no sure and certain reference for this, but my understanding is as
follows:

Spelling - Dentori

Dentori is the name of the law which requires certain products to be
certified for sale in Japan and to bear the Dentori mark, commonly and
unofficially referred to as the T-mark. The Dentori law is
applied/enforced by MITI the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
