During the Battle of Sekigahara, he served as a stay-at-home representative of Edo Castle by order of Ieyasu. The war banner has black background with a gold Shinto shrine archway. The general’s standard was the same design in near square shape. Another general’s standard was black Shinto shrine archway in white background in near square shape.

A "canting flag" and/or a "canting mon", so to speak, since the Japanese word for the Shinto shrine archway is /torii/.

As you say, the SHRINE ARCHWAY is a family emblem that implies the family name Torii. The II Naomasa family emblem, which means WELL, could also be called a canting kamon.
