Tatemarugata Tetsuji Jisukashi Marumimi

The Akasaka school flourished until the end of the Edo period; it was founded when the first and second generations—a father and son named Tadamasa—relocated to Edo around the Kanei era and began crafting Tsuba by refining the Owari-Sukashi and Kyo-Sukashi techniques.
The first, second, and third generations (collectively known as "Ko-Akasaka" or "Old Akasaka") are characterized by excellent Kitae, thick forms—typically featuring Marugata and a Marumimi, though a style with Kakumaru is also observed. From the time of the fourth-generation Tadatoki, Tsuba became somewhat thinner and featured more refined craftsmanship. The name "Akasaka" was derived from the area where the artisans of this lineage resided (the Akasaka district in present-day Minato Ward, Tokyo).
Akasaka School Tadatoki Hikojuro is the fourth generation from the Akasaka School's first generation Tadamasa, but he was the first generation of the Akasaka School to have a name, and from then on, the name Tadatoki was used until the ninth generation.
In 1707, he succeeded the third Masatora and served for 39 years. In his later years, he handed over the headship of his family to the second generation Tadatoki, who took the name Tadamune. He died in 1746.His style has become somewhat thinner and more elaborate than that of Tadamasa first.He makes Ji-Sukashi-Tsuba with designs such as Syatou, paulownia, thin, Chasen, Suehiro, and Myoga in Tetsuji Marugata.
