Tokijska filiżanka. Miejsce i przyjaźń
Journal Title: Anthropos? - Year 2015, Vol 24, Issue 24
Abstract
The author deals with the problem of the place and friendship. The starting point is the advertisement of Japanese porcelain, in which the cup becomes a symbol of lifelong / undying / immortal friendship. Tokyo cup, as a heartwarming gift, leads the author to questions about the community, distance, permanence, transience, time and place. Donated items connect the purchase, friendship, travel, artefact and duration. Ceremonial objects intensify everyday life and open the world - including the orders of nature, social life and metaphysical existence. A cup of Noritake reveals the radical philosophy of friendship - is a gesture of restoring ties in the world in which we severed the bonds of friendship. It is a fragile suggestion to rebuild what interpersonal and to resume our understanding of time and space.
