Tatara

Company Intro：

Tatara is a high-end Kitchen products brand, currently focused on high end knives.<br><br>From Wikipedia: The tatara (鑪) is the traditional Japanese furnace used for smelting iron and steel. The word later also came to mean the entire building housing the furnace.

Instructions：

Please incorporate the 鑪 glyph in the design. I'd like it to be a relatively minimal, sophisticated design, with Japanese themes, conveying premium quality. <br><br>My idea for the design is to have the character in the middle of a Japanese red torii gate like https://gyazo.com/50a02f21dfed171ffddf281463dc2976 - but have the gate a bit wider and more minimal to not drown the character, and not in watercolour. Have the character in a nicer font than this example too.<br><br>Would be good if you can have Tatara written in English a nice Japanese-style font (or some other you think is appropriate), underneath the logo, so I can use them together or seperately.<br><br>I like the fonts from this page for that: http://designbeep.com/2012/07/20/33-most-wanted-free-japanese-and-chinese-style-fonts/<br>Gang of Three<br>Shojumaru<br>DomoAregato<br>Last Ninja<br>Odishi<br><br>Could possibly include caligraphy strokes, to make the torii gate. In the same thick style as an enso circle.<br><br>As for colours I'm imagining black and white/silver, with maybe red or another colour used minimally.
