Flag of Kujū Ōita 1959-2005 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of the former town of Kujū, a navy emblem built around a single stylized kanji on a clean white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the composition, with navy taking up a much smaller share, and the contrast between the two does all the work. The navy forms a circular badge with a looped inner curl, its top edge cut by angled chevrons that break the ring open. The shapes are flat and crisp, with no shading or texture, so the emblem reads at a glance. The kanji 「久」 is the anchor of the layout: it is drawn in a simplified, calligraphic manner and sits at the centre of the badge, giving the whole piece a bold, graphic punch.

Meaning & Symbolism

The character 「久」 is the first letter of the town's name, Kujū, so the emblem works as a compact signature of local identity. The flag was officially adopted on 27 May 1959 and flew until 1 April 2005, when Kujū merged with neighbouring towns to form the city of Taketa. Its story is one of regional administration in Ōita Prefecture, in the Naoiri District, during the late twentieth century. Designed in the spirit of heraldry, it condenses a whole community's sense of place into one symbol that people recognised for almost half a century.

Made for the Hand That Lifts It

A pint glass is a tall, curved surface that wraps around the eye as you drink, so the badge sits in view as the glass is lifted and turned. The navy ring and white ground read clearly against the glass, and the kanji stays central whichever way the glass is held. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with a connection to Japan, a memento of a town that no longer appears on any map, or simply a striking piece for the kitchen shelf.

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.
