Fleur-de-lis?

Hi Ray,
 

i think this might be the Hosoge flower. Hosoge meaning noble or precious flower, a stylised ( not real ) flower based on the lotus / Chinese peonies and introduced as a Buddhist motif in Japan 

around the 8th century AD. Here is variation on a 2nd Jingo example.
 
very popular design on Jingo tsuba especially on their wan shaped ( hizen influenced ) tsuba so might be some connection here and more knowledgeable member could expand on. 
 
kindest regards
 
Michael
