Tokugawa Shogun’s Family crest in Edo period
The three-leaf hollyhock is a design known as the Tokugawa family crest. It consists of three hollyhock leaves with veins drawn on them in a balanced arrangement, with slight variations depending on the successive shoguns of the Edo Shogunate, the three Tokugawa families, and the Matsudaira family. Over time, the veins have become more detailed and the shape of the stem has changed.
Ieyasu, Hidetada, and Iemitsu,” became the symbol of the three shoguns from the first Ieyasu onward, representing the unity and strong ties of the three generations of the Tokugawa family. However, the crest of hollyhock used by the shoguns after Iemitsu changed its design slightly for each of them. This is thought to be due to the reverence for the three generations of shoguns from Ieyasu, who himself used a different design.
