Flag of Narakawa Nagano 1989-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of Narakawa Village in Nagano Prefecture, a plain white field carrying a single green-and-blue emblem of hills and a winding river.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, covering most of the field and leaving the artwork room to breathe. Set at the centre sits a circular emblem drawn in flat vector shapes: green hills rising in soft curves, with a thin blue river threading through them along a gently bending path. There is no lettering or numerals, so the eye goes straight to the emblem and its clean, balanced lines.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem stands for the landscape of Narakawa itself, a village in the Kiso District whose hills and river define its identity. The flag was adopted on July 18, 1989, and flew until April 1, 2005, when the village merged into Shiojiri City. It is a record of a particular chapter of local Japanese history, captured in the formal language of municipal heraldry.

Made for the Shot Glass in Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the emblem reads at a glance, centred and complete, as the glass is lifted. The circular motif sits naturally within the rounded form of the glass, and the white field gives the green and blue room to stand out. It is a quiet piece of heraldry for a home bar, a travel keepsake, or a reminder of a place with a river running through its hills.

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.
