Flag of Niitsuru Fukushima 1979-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This is a flat, confident piece of graphic design: a solid forest-green field carrying a single white emblem at its centre, drawn in clean modern vector lines.

Visual Elements & Composition

Forest green fills roughly four-fifths of the design, with white taking up the remaining fifth in the emblem. Nothing competes with it. The emblem is a monogram built from a stylised combination of the number 1 and the letter D, set dead centre so the eye lands on it immediately. The result is minimalist and geometric, with no border, no gradient and no fuss, which is exactly why it reads so clearly at small scale.

Meaning & Symbolism

This is the historical flag of Niitsuru Village in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The village adopted it in 1979 and flew it until 2005, when Niitsuru merged with Aizuhongo and Aizutakada to form the town of Aizumisato. That makes the flag a record of a former municipality, and its green field and central emblem carry the regional identity of Fukushima. The emblem stands for the village itself, a compact symbol for a community that existed for more than two decades before it became part of something larger.

Small Glass, Close Reading

A shot glass is small and held close, usually lifted to eye level before it is tipped back. That suits a flag built around one central emblem: the whole design is visible in a single glance and the monogram sits right where the eye rests. Turn the glass and the green field wraps around it, so the emblem is the first thing a friend sees when the glass comes across the table. It is a neat little souvenir of a village that no longer appears on any map under its own name.

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.
