The other day I was showing a friend some pots with various Oriental glazes. She became quite interested in learning the Kanji as she knows Japanese. We found the Kanji for Temmoku and Shino on the web, but couldn't find the one for Ohata Kaki. I'm sure she'd be interested in the kanji for other glazes as well. Can anyone post these?
Ohata is a guy's last name. Folks in Japan might not be familar with Ohata
Kaki. Unlike Tenmoku and Shino, it is not a traditional glaze.

This isn't a glaze name that people would recognize here. Or rather, the just the Kaki part. That would be the kanji for persimmon.
A couple of the suppliers in Arita carry a glaze that looks very much like Ohata kaki, but the just have the generic name of 'Iron Red', the kanji is ???I actually don't know what the reading of the kanji is, conventional knowledge would say it's Tesseki, but here in Saga we love our dialects, so it could be Tetsu no Aka, or some other reading that is just downright bizarre.

Yeah. Kaki is a Mashiko glaze. And what we call tenmoku is just kuro yu or kuro ame yu. Shimaoka's black glaze had ame in it which has manganese in it.
