A 63-year-old Giorgi (Zhora) Bijamov, is one of the last Mohicans in Tbilisi. Shoe cleaning has been passed down from generation to generation in his family.

Zhora has been engaged in this craft for over 40 years, but only four of them remain in Tbilisi nowadays.

"Now everyone is wearing sneakers, and nobody needs us," says Zhora, adding that shoe cleaning is no longer prestigious. From morning to evening, Zhora is waiting for the client, who will tell him the news of Tbilisi in addition to cleaning the shoes.
