Flag of Nishiwaki Hyōgo (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag of Nishiwaki, a municipality in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, as a single maroon emblem set on a wide white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

White covers most of the design, roughly nine parts in ten, so the eye settles on the emblem rather than the ground. That emblem is maroon and built from a few flat vector shapes: a stylised bird with a body of sweeping arcs for wings, and two small circles floating above it. Nothing is shaded or textured. The layout is centred and open, with no border, lettering or numerals to compete with the figure. It reads as a clean, modern piece of graphic design.

Meaning & Symbolism

Municipal flags in Japan are designed to stand for a town's civic identity and its place within the prefecture, and this one follows that pattern. The bird figure gives Nishiwaki a single, memorable mark, while the restrained palette of maroon and white keeps the emblem formal and easy to recognise from a distance. The circles above the wings add a point of focus and balance the composition. The design belongs to the modern era of municipal vexillology and draws its meaning from local pride and the regional community it represents.

Where the Emblem Meets the Glass

A shot glass is small enough to hold in one hand and close enough to read at a glance, so the emblem is seen almost face on, at the level of the eye. The curve of the glass draws the bird's wings inward, and the white field frames it the way a flag frames a pole. It makes a sharp conversation piece on a home bar, a shelf or a travel collection, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese regional heritage or simply likes a well-drawn emblem.

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.
