Historical Context: This Katana is attributed to the Tegai school of the Yamato tradition, active during the Kamakura period. The Tegai school, originating near the Tengai-mon of Todaiji Temple in Nara, was founded by Kanenaga around 1288-1293. Known for supplying swords to temples, Tegai smiths were integral in the defense and armament of religious establishments in Yamato province.

The Tegai school's blades are distinguished by their traditional Yamato characteristics, such as a high shinogi-zukuri and iori mune, with marked curvature (koshi-zori) and chu-suguba hamon with nie. The tight, yet beautiful ko-itame hada and the boshi with strong nie and yakizume are signature traits of this school's craftsmanship. These features demonstrate the Tegai school's commitment to quality and aesthetic in blade making.

This Katana's mumei status and length make it a unique and valuable piece, representing the rich history and skilled craftsmanship of the Tegai school during a pivotal era in Japanese sword-making. Its preservation and certification by NBTHK underscore its cultural and historical significance.

Don’t buy for restaurant industry
Size: 10.5, Color: Black, Size: 10.5, Color: Black
Good looking shoes, fairly comfortable and good value based on the description shared, so I don’t feel it’s fair to rate them lower than 4 stars. I had high hopes for them based on previous reviews from others saying they wore them in the food and beverage industry that mentioned their quality and durability, however I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you do. I purchased these to wear working in a full service upscale restaurant and in less than two months have managed to have torn the material on the middle exterior section and the bottoms of the shoes are already completely worn down. Good design, but the durability needs to be improved if they’re to hold up for that industry.

DO NOT BUY (lasted less than 7 months)
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I bought these for work as a bartender in August of 2025. By December, the tops were scuffed, frayed, and peeling beyond repair, and by February, the soles were coming off. I’ve never had a pair of shoes with such low quality.

Most comfortable shoes, right out of the box!
Size: 8.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
Oh my! So, my ordering of shoes online has been hit or miss - 1/2 size too big or too small; too wide or not wide enough. Enter these Marc Joseph shoes… such a game changer. They fit like a glove, exceptionally comfortable, and easy to slip in and out of. I like them so much that I am shopping for another pair. So far, the size, quality, fit, feel, look, and comfort make this pair my dedicated first pick. Btw, I have been wearing them for six hours and they are still very comfortable! I highly recommend these shoes.
