Description of this Calligraphy
The kanji Ohtani and the katakana Ootani are written vertically.
Japanese kanji may be written the same way but read differently. This is especially true in the case of names, and this Ohtani also has various readings, such as Ohya, Oya, Oogai, Daiya, Daitani, Otani, and Oogaya. Since all of them are official, when you apply for or sign a contract for something, there is a section called furigana for the kanji, where you write the reading in hiragana or katakana.
