Kuichigai Nanatsu Hiki Ryō Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the striking "Kuichigai Nanatsu Hiki Ryō" (喰違い七つ引両紋) design, a distinguished Japanese family crest known as a kamon. The artwork presents a visually arresting arrangement of parallel lines, meticulously crafted to represent this specific crest.

Visual Elements

The design's core element is the "hiki" (引), meaning "pull" and referring to the parallel lines. The "kuichigai" (喰違い) element is key: it signifies a staggered, or offset, arrangement of these lines. This particular iteration features a total of seven lines, artfully configured with four on one side and three on the other, creating a dynamic visual balance.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "Hikiryō-mon" crests, which include this design, often carry symbolism related to dragons or spirits, represented by the "ryō" (両) element. Some interpretations associate the lines with sacred boundary markers or even the spirits of the day and moon. The staggered arrangement may also have been a stylistic choice, used to distinguish branches of a family or clan that utilized other hiki patterns. As a samurai family crest, the “Kuichigai Nanatsu Hiki Ryō” design suggests a heritage of martial prowess and noble standing.

This shot glass design, therefore, is more than just an abstract pattern; it’s a connection to historical meaning, visual sophistication, and cultural heritage, a miniature work of art.

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.
