Flag of Nishiki Yamaguchi 1959-2006 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag of the former town of Nishiki in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, built around a single pine tree set inside concentric rings.

Visual Elements & Composition

The flag is almost entirely green, with the green field covering most of the surface and white providing the remaining accent. Flat vector shapes do the work here: a circle, a triangle and a rectangle combine into a clean, centred emblem. The pine tree sits at the heart of the composition, its silhouette stepped and simple, while the concentric circles frame it like rings spreading across still water. Nothing is cluttered. The eye goes straight to the centre and stays there.

Meaning & Symbolism

The town emblem is a formal statement of local identity. Municipal flags of this kind were designed to carry a community's character in a single image, and the pine and the ringed motif speak to the natural landscape the town was known by. The flag was adopted on October 1, 1959, and used until March 20, 2006, when Nishiki merged into the city of Iwakuni. It is a precise record of a particular era of Japanese regional governance, and of a town that no longer appears on the map under its own name.

Raising a Glass to a Vanished Town

A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in a single moment, so the emblem reads at arm's length rather than across a room. The centred tree and rings sit neatly inside the curve of the glass, and the green field turns every pour into a little piece of local history. It is a cheeky way to keep a forgotten municipality in conversation, and a thoughtful pick for anyone who collects odd corners of the world.

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.
