Flag of Ouetsu Reppan Domei or the Northern Alliance in Japan (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag of the Ouetsu Reppan Domei, the Northern Alliance of Japan, built around a single interwoven five-pointed star set against a stark field of black and white.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is strictly monochrome, close to a near-black brown and pure white, and the flag appears in two versions: a white star on a black field or a black star on a white field. The star dominates the layout, its outline drawn as overlapping curved strokes that loop through one another to form a pentagram-like figure. At the centre sits an open pentagon, a void that gives the star its structure. Nothing else competes for attention: there is no text, no border and no ornament, only the star and the ground beneath it.

Meaning & Symbolism

The star is the Abeno-Seimei seal, a emblem long believed to hold magical powers. The flag was adopted in early 1868 during the Boshin War, when a coalition of northern domains, drawn primarily from the Mutsu, Dewa and northern Echigo provinces, formed to oppose the Meiji government. The restrained design suits that moment: a banner of defiance raised by domains that chose to stand together, its solemnity matching the weight of the conflict it represented.

Holding the Star in Hand

A shot glass is small and held close, so the flag reads at arm's length and then up at eye level as the glass is lifted. The seal's interlaced lines catch the light through the clear glass, and the black-and-white contrast stays sharp at this scale. Its modest size suits a design this direct, letting the single star make its point with every toast.

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.
