The first and second generations of the Akasaka school, Tadamasa Tadamasa, moved to Edo around the Kan'ei era, where they produced tsuba by adding ingenuity to the Owari Toru method and the Kyoto 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).
