From the former Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic (now Georgia) to Japan in the 1970s. A pair of traditional Georgian drinking horns, "Kantsi," brought back by my grandmother. Georgia is a land with one of the world's oldest wine cultures, dating back 8,000 years. These vessels are not merely drinking implements, but "ritual objects" that symbolize the spirituality of a banquet. The drinking horn cannot be set down. Its structure prevents it from being put down until emptied. It is a device that transforms the act of drinking into a pact of resolve and community. Brass ornamentation with grape motifs, The curves of the natural horn, The constraint of the chain. The form, in which function and symbolism are inextricably linked, sets it apart from so-called folk crafts. This is not a souvenir. It is the materialization of the spirit of a cultural sphere. Craftsmanship from the Soviet era of the 1970s, with a distinct texture from current mass-produced tourist items. Unused dead stock, a pair, with a stand. From a Mingei perspective, it is a "nameless form." However, viewed as primitive art, it is a strong, sculptural form. Simply placing it in a space, evokes a festive atmosphere. For those who understand the context of wine culture history, Eastern European ethnic culture, and the collection of ritual objects. Not mass-produced. No reproduction. Only this pair exists.
