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).
