Tatemarugata Tetsumigakiji Jisukashikebori 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).
Hikojuro Tadatoki of the Akasaka school represents the fourth generation in the lineage starting with the school's founder, Tadamasa; however, he is considered the first Tadatoki to sign his works, a name that was subsequently used by nine successive generations.
He succeeded the third master, Masatora, in Houei 4 (1707) and held the position for 39 years. In his later years, he passed the family headship to the second Tadatoki and adopted the name Tadamune. He past away in Enkyou 3 (1746). Compared to the work of the first-generation Tadamasa, the style became somewhat more delicate, featuring intricate craftsmanship. He created Tetsujimarugata Tsuba featuring Sukashitsuba that incorporated motifs such as Syatou(shrine gates), Kiri(paulownia), Usu, Chagama, Suehiro, Myouga.
