Flag of Muroran Hokkaido 1922-1936 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the first official flag of Muroran, Hokkaido, a bold white field carrying a black geometric emblem of concentric circles and a triangle.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers almost the entire surface, with black making up only a sliver of the design, so the emblem reads with striking clarity. The flat vector construction is spare and modern: a set of concentric circles sits at the centre, with a triangle and an abstract symbol working alongside it. Nothing decorative competes with these shapes. The result is a graphic, minimalist mark that looks as deliberate today as it did when the city adopted it.

Meaning & Symbolism

This flag was adopted on August 1, 1922, the day Muroran was officially designated a city, and it served as the primary municipal symbol for fourteen years. It marked the start of the city's administrative identity during an early chapter of Hokkaido's development. In 1936 it was replaced by a design featuring a cherry blossom and streams, which represented the spirit of samurai settlers. The 1922 emblem stands for that first chapter of civic life, when Muroran was establishing itself as a city in its own right.

Keep It Close to Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so this emblem is seen up at eye level, circles and triangle fully in view as the glass is lifted. It is a fitting piece for a toast to a place with a proud, carefully drawn history, and a conversation starter on the home bar or a travel keepsake from Hokkaido.

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.
