Mon identity help needed

[ashibagou]

Hi

 

Can anyone help to identify this family mon?

Perhaps a variant of Katabami?

The trillium flower is what immediately comes to mind, although I cannot find a corresponding mon in my Hawleys family crest book. 
 

Maybe a rabbit hole to follow.

I can't think of any flower with three petals.

 

The shape of the blossom reminds me most of the Kikyo flower (Chinese Bellflower or Balloon flower). 

However, that one has five petals, so perhaps this is a design variation.

 

Or simply a floral shape, according to the designer's whim.

Hmmm… looks like a Christian pointed trefoil symbol.

Apparently there are a few trillium varieties native to Japan, but I’m not familiar with Japanese native flowers.

 

I think it looks a lot like trillium. Trillium is a really interesting wildflower that also grows out here. It can take up to 10 years to mature and bloom.

Similar mon tsuba found in Grey’s site.
