Flag of the Ogasawara Lords of Kokura in Buzen Province A (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

Three white diamonds stack one above the other on a field of cobalt blue, forming the crest of a samurai house.

Visual Elements & Composition

Cobalt blue fills almost the whole field, and the white rhombuses are the only element on it. They step upward in three tiers, the largest at the base and narrowing toward the top, so the silhouette reads like a stacked, tree-shaped motif. The geometry is symmetrical and minimal, with no lettering or ornament. The flat vector rendering keeps each diamond's edge clean, so the crest holds its shape at any size.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is the mon, or family crest, of the Ogasawara clan, a samurai house descended from the Seiwa Genji. The three-tiered diamond is called sangaibishi, and the clan used it on banners, armour and war hats. The Ogasawara ruled Kokura Domain in Buzen Province from 1632, when Ogasawara Tadazane entered Kokura from Akashi, until the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Its governing domain was assessed at 150,000 koku, a measure of rice yield that signified its rank.

On the Mixing Glass

A narrow glass is well suited to a tall, stacked crest, since the diamonds climb the body from base to rim and the cobalt field wraps evenly around it. The white shapes stand out against the blue whichever way the glass is turned. It is a crisp, dignified choice for anyone drawn to Japanese heraldry and the history of the samurai houses that once held the land.

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.
