The first and second generations of the Akasaka school, Tadamasa and his son, moved to Edo around the Kan'ei era, where they produced tsuba by adding ingenuity to the Owari-tou method and the Kyo-tou method, and prospered until the end of the Edo period. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation (Ko-Akasaka) have good forging of the iron base, and many of them are round and thick with round ears. From around the time of Tadatsuki IV, the tsuba became a little thinner and became more elaborately crafted. The name Akasaka was used from the place where the craftsmen of this family lived (present-day Akasaka area in Minato Ward, Tokyo).
Akasaka school Tadatoki (first generation) Hikojuro is a coterie of Tadamune. His real surname is also written as Hozumi.
His tenure was 39 years from 1707, and in his later years he handed over the headship of the family to the second generation Tadatoki, who took the name Tadamune.
His names are Bushu Akasaka jyu Hikojuro Tadatoki and Akasaka Hikojuro Tadatoki.
At Tetsuji and Marugata, we make Ji-sukashi Tsuba with designs such as Tetsuji and Marugata, Syatou, Kiri(paulownia), Susuki(pampas grass), chasen, Suehiro, and Myoga. He died in 1746.
