Flag of Akan Hokkaido 1952-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the historical flag of Akan, a municipality in Hokkaido, as it flew from 1952 to 2005, when the region's administrative arrangements changed.

Visual Elements & Composition

Green fills most of the field, with white taking up the remaining share in a flat, modern vector style. The rectangle is clean and uncluttered. At its centre sits a circular badge built from a ring of interlocking arcs, and on either side of it extend two horizontal white wing bars. The emblem reads as a single, balanced unit, with nothing competing for attention. There is no lettering, only the shapes themselves.

Meaning & Symbolism

This was the official civic banner of Akan, the sign the community used to represent itself during the second half of the twentieth century. The ring stands for the municipality as a whole, joined together, while the flanking wings lift the emblem outward and give it its distinctive silhouette. Vexillology enthusiasts and historians of Japanese regional symbols will recognise the emblem as a record of a specific era of local governance and identity, preserved in design long after the flag itself was retired.

Raise a Glass to Local History

A mixing glass is built for hands that turn it, lift it and set it down again, so the emblem is seen in motion rather than at a distance. As the glass tilts, the ring and wings shift across its curve, and the green and white bands read differently from every angle. Whoever holds it gets a small piece of Hokkaido's civic history in the palm of their hand, which is a good way to start a conversation over a drink.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.

One size: 16 oz (≈0.47 L). Below are product dimensions to help with shelving, storage, and packaging choices.
