[ highlight ] The Yamato Tegai School was founded by Kanenaga "包永" around the middle of the Kamakura period. It flourished through the Northern and Southern Dynasties until the end of the Muromachi period. The name of this school is said to have originated from the fact that it lived near the Tengai or Tegai Gate of Todaiji Temple. This work has a wide width of Shinogi, and is made with an advanced nakago o-suri-age. This Wakizashi is made of well-grained jigane iron, with a fine straight narrow width blade hoso-suguha, and shows the characteristics of Yamato work. Although the style is simple, the double-edged nijyu-bas boushi and other features are very pleasing.
