Flag of Nakatosa Kochi 1971-2006 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design is a flat, graphic record of the municipal flag of the former Nakatosa Town in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, a civic emblem that stood for the town from 1971 until 2006.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is restrained to two tones: a clear, saturated blue covers most of the field, with white making up the rest. The layout is minimal and modern, built from simple vector shapes rather than texture or ornament. At its centre sits a star-like emblem drawn from circles and points, reading as a stylised symbol rather than a picture. Nothing competes with it, so the eye settles on the mark immediately.

Meaning & Symbolism

Municipal emblems of this kind typically distil a place into a single sign, whether through the shape of its landscape or the sounds of its name. Here the white emblem carries the town's identity against the blue ground. The flag was adopted on February 19, 1971, and served as the town's civic mark for thirty-five years, so it captures a specific stretch of late twentieth-century local government in Japan.

Built for the Hand and the Toast

A shot glass is small, lifted quickly and held close to the face, so the emblem is seen at the same intimate range as the flag would be on a desk or wall. The circular emblem sits naturally within the round rim and base of the glass, and the blue and white read clearly at a glance across the table. It is a neat keepsake for anyone who likes their barware with a story behind it.

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.
