Flag of Nanakai Ibaraki 1967-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Nanakai, in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, a town whose flag flew from 1967 until its dissolution in 2005.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat, clean graphic built on a solid field of two colours. Bold red covers roughly two-thirds of the design and green fills the rest, so the pairing reads with strong contrast and no visual noise. A single stylised regional emblem sits at the centre, framed by simple circular and rectangular forms. Nothing competes with it. The symmetry is deliberate, and the emblem is the only focal point, which is how formal flags are meant to be read.

Meaning & Symbolism

Municipal flags like this one were designed to give a local community its own visual identity. The emblem stands for the place itself, and the restrained palette follows the conventions of Japanese local heraldry, where a few colours and one clear symbol carry the whole message. This flag represents Nanakai during its years as an independent municipality, and its formal, historical character comes from that period. It is a record of how a small community chose to present itself, preserved in a modern graphic style.

Why It Suits a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, usually raised at eye level before the first sip. That is exactly where a centred emblem on a solid field works best. The bold red and green stay legible at that range, and the emblem reads as a single, complete image rather than a pattern. It is an unusual conversation piece for a home bar, and a fitting choice for anyone who collects flags, tracks Japanese local history, or simply appreciates good heraldic 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.
