Flag of Muroran Hokkaido 1922-1936 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design renders the first official flag of Muroran, Hokkaido, a plain white field marked by a stark black geometric emblem built from circles and a triangle.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the composition, filling roughly 95 percent of the field, with black supplying the remaining accent. The emblem is a flat vector abstraction: concentric circles sit alongside a triangle and a simplified symbol, all reduced to their bare outlines. Nothing is decorative or ornamental. The layout is centred and balanced, so the eye settles on the mark rather than wandering across the field, and the result reads as clean, modern and immediately graphic.

Meaning & Symbolism

This flag was adopted on August 1, 1922, the day Muroran received its official designation as a city, and it served as the primary municipal symbol for fourteen years. It marks the early administrative era of a city finding its public identity in the Hokkaido region. In 1936 it was replaced by a new design featuring a cherry blossom, representing the spirit of samurai settlers, together with streams. The emblem belongs to a specific moment in Japanese municipal history, when a young city first put its identity into a single image.

Made to Sit in the Hand

A pint glass gives this emblem a tall, curved surface to wrap around, so the concentric circles and triangle are seen as the glass turns and the drink rises and falls behind them. Pick it up for a toast and the mark moves with you, a small piece of Hokkaido history on the table, ready for a conversation starter with anyone who has ever wondered where a city's badge came from.

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.
