Reserve Infantry Third Battalion Flag Shot Glass - Design

This shot glass showcases the iconic design of the Reserve Infantry Third Battalion Flag (後備歩兵第三大隊旗) of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA).

Visual Elements

The design faithfully replicates the flag's core aesthetic. A central red sun disc, the Kyokujitsu-ki (旭日旗) or Rising Sun, dominates the visual space, serving as the focal point.

From the sun disc, sixteen vibrant red rays radiate outwards, mirroring the dynamic and energetic essence of the original flag. These rays are a direct representation of the flag's symbolism.

Inscriptions on the front of the glass read 「大日本帝國陸軍」 (“Army of the Empire of Great Japan”). On the back of the glass, 「後備歩兵第三大隊」 (“Reserve Infantry 3rd Battalion”) provides the specific unit identification.

While the original flag featured a white field, the glass provides a clear background allowing the red and gold tones of the design to stand out. Gold accents, echoing the flag's gold fringe, complete the design, adding a sense of honor and loyalty.

Symbolism and Meaning

The Rising Sun emblem is the central symbol, representing the nation and its connection to the sun goddess Amaterasu. The red rays further emphasize the energy, expansion, and spirit of Imperial Japan.

The gold accents speak to the honor and loyalty central to military service, reflecting the dedication of the reservists of the Third Battalion.

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.
