It is listed as the work of the second Tadamasa in the book written by Akasaka Tsuba and published by Sasano Daigyo in 1966.

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).
