Flag of Niseko Hokkaido 1933-1968 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the former municipal emblem of Niseko, a town in Hokkaido, Japan, which served as the town's civic symbol from 1933 until 1968.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is built from two colours: a bold yellow and a clean white field, with white dominating roughly four-fifths of the surface. A single five-pointed star in yellow sits at the centre, and a yellow ellipse rests beneath its lower notch, forming the one dot-like accent that anchors the image. The style is flat and graphic, with no shading or texture, so the shapes read instantly. There is no lettering in the emblem itself; the story lives in the silhouette and the balance between colour and空白.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is a heraldic device, the kind of compact civic mark that municipalities adopted in the early twentieth century to express their identity. Its star and ellipse give the town a simple, memorable signature that carried the community's name and administrative presence for over three decades. It was replaced by a new symbol enacted on May 15, 1968, which makes this design a fixed record of Niseko's mid-century identity within the Shiribeshi Subprefecture.

Made for the Hand, Held Close

A shot glass invites you to look straight down into it, so the star sits right in your line of sight as the glass is raised. The bold yellow reads clearly against the clear glass and the white ground, and the small scale suits a design built on a single starlit focal point. It is a fitting piece for a toast to a place with a long, quiet history, and a sharp conversation starter on a home bar or shelf.

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.
