開拓使保任社用船旗章 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Overview

This shot glass features a compelling visual homage to the 開拓使保任社用船旗章 (Kaitakushi Hōnin Sha-yō Senkishō), the official ensign of ships chartered by the Hokkaido Development Commission during Japan's Meiji era. The design draws directly from historical records of this fascinating, short-lived flag.

A Slice of Meiji History

The artwork centers around a bold, red sun disc, echoing the iconic Hinomaru (日の丸), the national flag of Japan. This element signifies Japan itself, providing a foundational patriotic symbolism.

The Mark of Hokkaido's Development

The design further incorporates a distinctive insignia of the Hokkaido Development Commission, likely rendered in black or dark blue, representing the organization behind the development of Hokkaido. This added element is the key to identifying the flag of the Kaitakushi’s official fleet, which flew the symbol of its mission to foster the growth of Japan’s northernmost island.

A Historical Representation

The shot glass’s design presents a simplified yet evocative representation, accurately capturing the essence of a flag that represents an important period in Japan's history. This design evokes themes of Japanese nationalism and commitment to the development of Hokkaido during the Meiji period.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
