Yes, 56 hits, many of which are false. Some are for the kajseki dish. Note that Google images relaxes the "..." binding, so the numbers can't be trusted.
I vote NO.

only 60 real google hits, the overwhelming majority are false positives.  as it doesn't appear to be idiomatic in japanese, i'm not sure it's anymore useful or needed than something like "lion's head doorknocker" would be in english  (e.g., take your pick of designs from this page http://fusuma.homepage.jp/01/040/010-1/post-36.html, how do you decide what obscure terms are worthy of inclusion?)

100+ Google hits, 400+ Google image hits – first page or two illustrates exactly what this is.

* Saw at museum today (exhibit on metal fixtures).
* Admittedly a bit technical and obscure of a term, this is a very common design in traditional Japanese doors, and of course it has a name.
* It also appears to be used for a kind of kaiseki dish, but I can’t figure out what the dish is.

It just struck me that the Kanji version could also be written as どんな物よりも, but all but one of the examples I could find were just in Kana, so it may or may be useful to add an alternate Kanji version.
