I have this small tanto  tsuba signed Terutsugu zo (Yokoya school). I was wandering the name of the technic of the ground metal which looks like ishime on silver. What are you views? What is the name of a "mei" on a plate (shakudo) which is added on the tsuba ?

 

Thank you for you information

If its a separate metal plate that has been somehow added to the tsuba, I would call it tanzaku mei (短冊銘) just like you see on menuki.
