開拓使屯田兵総嚮導籏 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz - Design Description

This shot glass features a compelling visual representation of the 開拓使屯田兵総嚮導籏 (Kaitakushi Tondenhei Sōkyōdōki), a historically significant flag from Meiji-era Japan. The design captures the essence of this command standard, imbuing it with layers of meaning and historical context.

Color Palette and Composition

The design utilizes a vibrant red backdrop, mirroring the field color of the original flag. This deep crimson symbolizes loyalty, bravery, and the authority vested in the Tondenhei's leadership. Gold accents, replicating the probable embellishments, are used for the central emblem and inscription, adding a touch of prestige and importance to the visual.

Central Emblem

At the heart of the design, a prominent gold emblem is presented. This emblem represents the Emperor’s authority and serves as a symbol of guidance and protection for the nation, and is reminiscent of Hokkaido as the nation's "northern star".

Inscription

A vertical inscription in a gold or white font is incorporated into the design, mirroring the original flag's layout. The characters are a clear representation of 開拓使屯田兵総嚮導籏 (Kaitakushi Tondenhei Sōkyōdōki), which identifies the flag as belonging to the Kaitakushi’s supreme Tondenhei command.

Symbolism

This design encapsulates the core symbolism of the Kaitakushi Tondenhei Sōkyōdōki flag. The red background speaks of loyalty and courage, while the gold accents reflect official status under Imperial command. The inclusion of the emblem reinforces guidance and protection under the nation. The vertical inscription clearly establishes the origin and purpose of the flag: to symbolize the Kaitakushi's supreme authority over the Tondenhei pioneer-soldier corps.

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.
