Flag of Kumamoto Prefecture 1960 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design reproduces the flag Kumamoto Prefecture carried in 1960, drawn as a clean, flat emblem that reads at a glance.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue fills most of the field, taking up roughly half the design, with red and white sharing the rest. The layout is minimal: a stylized bird and a mountain sit within simple triangular and circular forms, creating a balanced, emblem-like arrangement. The Japanese script くまもと (Kumamoto) appears as the only text, keeping the composition calm and uncluttered.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was commissioned by the executive committee of the 1960 Kumamoto National Sports Festival, known as Kokutai, and served as the prefectural flag for that event. It remained in use across the region until the current official prefectural flag was adopted on July 23, 1966, which makes it a record of a specific mid-twentieth-century moment. The emblem stands for that festival and for the prefecture's identity in its 1960–1966 period.

Why It Suits a Pint-Style Glass

A tall, tapering glass gives a flat emblem a curved surface to wrap around, so the blue field and centred bird stay in view as the glass is lifted and turned. The narrow base keeps the design easy to hold, and the bold colour blocks read clearly from across the table, making this a conversation starter for anyone who loves regional history or Japanese design. Pour a drink, raise a toast to a piece of Kumamoto's past, and let the emblem do the talking.

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.
