Flag of Mukawa Hokkaido 1960-2006 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal emblem that Mukawa, a town in the Iburi Subprefecture of Hokkaido, Japan, used as its civic symbol from 1960 until 2006.

Visual Elements & Composition

Bright yellow and white share the field, with white taking roughly seven parts in ten and yellow the rest. The emblem is built from flat, bold geometry. A single vertical bar rises through the centre, and its narrowest point is pinched by a four-pointed star, giving the bar a defined waist. Two curved yellow arcs sit on either side, mirroring each other, with angled ends that point away from the bar. Nothing is shaded or rendered in perspective, so the shapes read instantly and hold their balance from edge to edge. There are no words or numerals in the emblem.

Meaning & Symbolism

Heraldic emblems like this one were designed to be recognised at a glance, and this symbol carried the civic identity of the town for nearly half a century. Enacted on January 1, 1960, it stood for Mukawa in official life until March 27, 2006, when the town merged with Hobetsu. The new municipality kept the name Mukawa, written in hiragana, and adopted a new emblem. This artwork records the specific symbol used throughout that period of local governance, so it reads as a document of a particular moment in the town's history as much as a graphic.

Holding a Piece of Local History

A shot glass is small, lifted to eye level and held close, so the emblem is seen at a range where its details come into focus. The vertical bar runs up the curve of the glass and the two arcs wrap around it, so the composition is read as you turn the glass in your hand. It is a neat way to carry a piece of Hokkaido's civic past onto the bar cart, and a fitting pour for anyone who likes their gifts with a little story behind them.

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.
