Flag of Nakamichi Yamanashi 1963-2006 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag of the former town of Nakamichi in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, built around a single winged circular emblem set in deep maroon.

Visual Elements & Composition

Maroon dominates the field, covering roughly four-fifths of the design, with orange taking the remaining fifth as a bright accent. The layout is minimalist and flat: a centred circular emblem carries a Japanese kanji character at its heart, with a pair of wings extending from the circle's sides. Nothing competes with that central mark, so the eye settles on it immediately. The flat vector style keeps every edge crisp, which suits a small, close-up image.

Meaning & Symbolism

The central mon was the town's official municipal emblem and the core of its local identity. Japanese municipal crests of this kind were a long-standing heraldic tradition, and this one gave Nakamichi a clear visual shorthand for its community. The flag was adopted on September 14, 1963, and flew until March 1, 2006, when Nakamichi merged into the city of Kōfu. The artwork therefore records a specific chapter of late twentieth-century Japanese municipal history, preserving the administrative identity of a town that no longer exists under its own name.

Crafted for Close Viewing

A shot glass is small and lifted close to the eye, so the design reads in a single glance and rewards a second look. The emblem sits at the centre of the glass, where it faces the drinker as the glass is raised, and the maroon and orange give it a bold presence against the clear glass. It is a considered piece of heritage for a home bar, a travel keepsake, or a conversation starter for anyone curious about Japanese civic design.

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.
