Gilded Tokugawa Family Crests-- Sō Mon
... Tokugawa Ieyasu moved it to its current site in 1598 as he began to build up the city of Edo. Zojo-ji became the patron temple of the Tokugawa and the final resting place for many of the shoguns—hence the temple and its gates are decorated with the hollyhock family crest of the Tokugawa clan.

For posterity, someone who used the GG5 gloss:
Tochigi Governor Fukuda of the launch of the Tokugawa design version of "Coca-Cola" Slim Bottle
...launched the Tokugawa design version of "Coca-Cola" Slim Bottle decorated with an iconic design of the wild ginger trefoil coat of arms of the Tokugawa clan.

  Comments:
I was wondering if "Tokugawa family crest" might have been a simpler gloss, but I see it's a complicated issue. (and there are a number of 三つ葉葵). It does seem rare for anyone to try and gloss the crest title literally.

Just going to add the ご surface form. Saw a couple of interesting datapoints that I'm noting in refs in case it ever comes up again, but otherwise I am not worried about it.,

All quiet. I'll propose this version. I prefer "family crest" to "coat of arms" as the latter is rather European.
I'll propose a matching form for 三つ葉葵 - obviously they should be aligned.
