Flag of Nakaizu Shizuoka 1963-2004 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the historical municipal flag of Nakaizu, a former town in Tagata District, Shizuoka Prefecture, and it is built around one bold idea: a deep blue field with a single emblem placed at its heart.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the artwork, covering the great majority of the field in a rich, saturated tone, with white providing the only contrast. The emblem sits at the centre, drawn in flat vector shapes that read cleanly at a glance. A shield form, a cross and an anchor are the figures that carry the composition, arranged with the restraint of classic heraldry. There is no extra decoration around them, so the eye settles straight on the centre of the flag.

Meaning & Symbolism

Flags of this kind were designed to stand for a community's identity in a single image, and this one does exactly that. The blue field and central emblem represent the town of Nakaizu itself. The flag was in official use from 1963 until 1 April 2004, when Nakaizu merged with Amagiyugashima, Shuzenji and Toi to form the city of Izu. The design therefore captures a specific chapter of late twentieth-century local history in the Shizuoka area, and it stands as a record of a town that no longer exists under its own name.

Made for the Hand and the Toast

A shot glass is small, held close and lifted at the moment of a toast, so the emblem sits right in your line of sight with every pour. The blue field reads as a deep, dark colour against the glass, and the central emblem becomes the thing you see as the drink is raised. It makes a thoughtful piece for anyone who collects flags, loves Japanese regional history or simply enjoys a design with a story behind it, and it turns a quick round of drinks into a small moment of curiosity about a place most people will never have heard of.

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.
