Flag of Nakatosa Kochi 1971-2006 (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

This design renders the municipal flag of the former Nakatosa Town in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, as a single bold emblem on a clean blue field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue dominates the flag, covering roughly 85% of the surface, with white making up most of the remainder. The artwork is flat and graphic, with no shading or texture, so the eye lands straight on the central emblem. That emblem is built from circles and star-like points, arranged with the calm symmetry typical of Japanese local government symbols. Nothing competes with it. The restraint is the point: a few shapes, two colours, and a clear centre.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was adopted on February 19, 1971, and served the town until 2006, when Nakatosa's civic identity changed. Its emblem is a stylised symbol, drawing on the town's local geography or the sounds of its name, so every curve carries a piece of place. Vexillology, the study of flags, values exactly this kind of compact story, and this design tells it in one glance. It is a record of the region's public identity across the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Made for the Mixing Glass in Hand

A mixing glass is meant to be held close and turned slowly, so a flag like this one suits it well. The emblem sits at the centre of the glass and reads as you lift it, while the blue field carries around the curved wall as you rotate it. Because the glass doubles as a shaker and a serving glass, the emblem appears at every stage of the drink, from mixing to pouring. A thoughtful gift for anyone who loves Japanese graphic design or a story told in simple shapes.

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.
