Flag of Oshamanbe Hokkaido 1913-1953 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag used by Oshamanbe, a town in Hokkaido, Japan, from 1913 to 1953, rendered as a clean piece of monoline line art.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is drawn in black on a white field, and the white dominates the composition. A five-pointed star is traced in a single outline, and a hexagon overlaps its centre so that the two shapes share the same space. Inside the hexagon sits a hand-drawn abstract glyph, loose and irregular against the geometric framework around it. Nothing is shaded or filled, so every form is carried by the line alone, and the balance between the rigid star and hexagon and the freehand mark gives the flag its formal, deliberate character.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag is a civic emblem. It identified Oshamanbe through the four decades when the town used this symbol, a period spanning the early to mid-twentieth century. The star and hexagon stand for the municipal identity the community chose to present, while the glyph at the centre carries the individual character of that local mark. Taken together, the design records the graphic identity of a Hokkaido community during a specific stretch of its administrative history, and it stays close to the original as a documented reference rather than an reinterpretation.

Designed for a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, lifted in one hand and held close to the eye, so the flag is read at arm's length in the moment before the drink. The star and hexagon sit within a compact, contained outline that suits the small round field of the glass, and the open white ground lets the black linework stand out clearly as the glass is turned. It is a piece for a home bar, a shelf, or a travel collection, where the emblem of a Hokkaido town becomes 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.
