The composition is centred and flat, with no shading, texture or background clutter, so the eye goes straight to the badge. The only text is the route marking \u003cstrong\u003eG507\u003c\/strong\u003e, set in the middle of the shield where it reads clearly at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoute shields exist so that a driver can find their way without thinking. The word \u003cem\u003eKokudou\u003c\/em\u003e marks this as a national route in Japan, and 507 is its number in the national network. The name also points to the \u003cem\u003eChina\u003c\/em\u003e region, the Chūgoku area of western Honshu, which the road crosses. The design is modern in style and follows the clean, functional language of Japanese road signage, where the shape and number do all the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReading the Shield Up Close\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA shot glass is small and held close, so the badge is seen at arm's length and then tipped toward the eye, much as a sign is read when you pull up beside it. The rounded shape and double border suit the curve of the glass, and the bold red and white stay legible as the glass is turned. It is a fitting design for a toast to the open road and to the places it connects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":53168986128664,"sku":"GMY-SHOT-KKDCHN-1P5OZ-1FM0C","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/kokudou-507china-china-road-sign-shot-glass-15oz-GMY-SHOT-KKDCHN-1P5OZ-1FM0C-front.webp?v=1793981383","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/kokudou-507china-china-road-sign-shot-glass-15oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
