Flag of Okushiri Hokkaido 1906-1966 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag used by the town of Okushiri in Hokkaido, Japan, from 1906 to 1966, drawn as a flat, single-colour emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep blue fills most of the design, roughly 85 percent of its field, with white providing the rest. The artwork is built from two basic shapes, a circle and a rectangle, arranged so the emblem reads clearly at a glance. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. The emblem sits at the centre as a single mon, a compact graphic mark with no shading, no gradients and no extra text to compete with it.

Meaning & Symbolism

The mon is a Japanese family or civic crest, and this one identified the municipality of Okushiri during six decades of the twentieth century. Its bold geometry follows the conventions of Japanese heraldry, where a symbol had to be instantly recognisable when stamped, printed or raised on a banner. The design records local government identity as it stood before the emblem was changed, making it a snapshot of civic life on an island town in Hokkaido.

Raise a Glass to Local History

A shot glass is small, held close and lifted at eye level, so this emblem is seen up close and at the moment of a toast. The blue and white circle sits squarely in the line of sight, which suits a bold, minimal mark. For anyone with a fondness for Japanese local history, a home bar or a travel memento from Hokkaido, this little glass turns a piece of municipal heraldry into a conversation starter.

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.
