Flag of Nagao Kagawa 1958-2002 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders the flag of Nagao Town, a municipality in Japan's Kagawa Prefecture, as a crisp, flat graphic built around a single bold emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the design, covering roughly four-fifths of the field, with white taking the rest. The palette is restrained and high-contrast, so the eye lands immediately on the centred town emblem. That emblem is a stylised star, drawn with clean geometric edges and no shading, in the flat vector manner of modern civic graphics. Nothing competes with it: the composition is simple, balanced and easy to read at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The central figure is the town's chōshō, the municipal emblem that Japanese towns traditionally adopt as a stylised symbol of their name or local heritage. Municipal emblems like this were a way for a small community to announce its identity in a single image. Nagao Town adopted this flag on 1 May 1958 and used it until 1 April 2002, when it merged with Tsuda, Okawa, Shido and Sangawa to form the city of Sanuki. The design therefore captures a specific chapter of local history, the years of the town's independent administration.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, held in one hand and raised at close range, so the design is seen at eye level and up close rather than from across a room. The central star sits where the eye naturally falls as the glass is lifted, and the blue field wraps the vessel's sides as it is turned. Each glass carries the emblem as a keepsake of a community that no longer exists on the map under its old name, a fitting souvenir for anyone who enjoys a story with their drink.

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.
