Flag of the Hosokawa Lords of Kumamoto in Higo Province C (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

A white banner framed by two black bands, with a ring of nine crimson discs that echoes the family crest of the Hosokawa daimyo.

Visual Elements & Composition

The field is mostly white, held between two heavy horizontal black bars that give the banner its strong, martial rhythm. The emblem sits in the open white space: one large red disc at the centre, surrounded by eight smaller red discs set in an even ring. Flat fills and generous margins keep the composition calm, and the red is the only warm note against the black and white.

Meaning & Symbolism

The Hosokawa were among the most powerful daimyo families in Japanese history. After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Hosokawa Tadaoki received Higo Province, present-day Kumamoto, and his son Tadatoshi moved the clan into Kumamoto Castle in 1632, where they ruled until 1871. Their crest, the Kuyo-mon, shows nine stars in a ring, traditionally read as the seven classical planets together with Rahu and Ketu, the bodies linked to eclipses. Tadatoshi is remembered as a patron of the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.

Shaped for the Mixing Glass

This is a crystal-clear glass that works as both shaker and serving glass, with a solid base and a narrower foot for an easy grip. The ring of red discs reads well through the clear walls, and the banded layout suits the upright, straight-sided form of the glass. A banner of a noble house, brought to the mixing table.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
