The family continued to produce tsuba until the death of his final descendant in 1856. The tsuba was noted as a reflection of the specific time period and school that designed them. Yujo's sword fittings were characterized by unusual detail, color, texture, and contrast. Many of Yujo's designs can be easily found to this day.
