Autumn colour in the Nandor Wagner Art Gellery

I could spend a great day at the Wagner Nandor Art Gallery located in Mashiko town, Tochigi-pref., Japan. Because, I could have a chance to talk with Nandor's wife and I could appreciate many pieces of Nandor's work. Nandore Wagner was born in 1922 in Hungary. He had become world's famous sculptor by his stainless steel sculpture made in Sweden while as a refugee from Hungary. After he got married a Japanese woman, he moved from Sweden to Japan with his wife. Finally, he found the permanent home in Japan. As for more detail about him, I recommend you to refer Nándor Wagner.

Normally, it will be started to bloom between middle of November to end of December. Therefore, it is also called either Thanksgiving cactus or Christmas cactus.
