Choshu, along with Mito in the east, has a large number of metalwork and mass-produced tsuba.

The representatives of Choshu tsuba craftsmen include Zensuke Nakai Tomogaki, Gonno Tomochika Kawaji, and Nobumasa Okada.

The exchange of techniques and personnel with the Ito school of Bushu can be seen, and the style is iron ground, round shape, both pits, meat carving, or sukidashi carving. As for the designs, I prefer to carve flowers and landscapes, and there are few figures of people.
