The tsuba was noted as a reflection of the specific time period and school that designed them. Goto family work features a finely granulated ground texture called nanako which resembles fine rows of caviare. Nanako actually means 'fish-eggs'. The primary alloy they used was shakudo, a mixture of copper and a few percent of gold. This alloy was treated in a bath of copper salts to develop a lustrous black patina. This black background, with inlaid details in gold and silver, is characteristic of the family's work and was copied by many less prestigious workshops. Although he never signed his work many piece attributed to him are extant today. (en)
