The Ito school was active as a tsuba specialist. The family line of the Ito school of Bushu is inherited by Masataka (Katsumi), the 10th head, with Masanaga in the Genroku period as the first generation. Among them, the second-generation Seigaki is excellent, and is a good craftsman who developed and perfected the construction method of the Ito school.

Ito Sukashi used the Hirazougan construction method, which used a lot of gold, for Masatsune, which is considered to be the early period.

Those who seem to be of the late period show various techniques such as Iroe, Kosukashi, Sukidashi, etc., in which various kinds of meat carvings are applied to the plate tsuba.

In this clan, technical exchanges with other schools and people from other countries can be seen, and in particular, frequent personnel and technical exchanges with Choshu can be inferred. These people were inscribed with the names Busyuju and Cyosyuju. Masayoshi is one of them.
