We held "Join Us to See Autumn Leaves -Kanpukai-" on October 21 (Sat.) at Sapporo Sculpture Garden. Nine participants from 4 countries and regions joined.
この日は、気温も穏やかで快晴。紅葉も見頃を迎えていました。
It was mild and clear up that day. It was the best time to see autumn leaves there.
昨年も「観楓会」を札幌芸術の森野外美術館で行いましたが、今回は昨年とは別のコースを歩きました。イスラエルの彫刻家ダニ・カラヴァンの作品「隠された庭への扉」から開始しました。「隠された庭への扉」のメイン・テーマは、自然と人間の対話です。門や日時計、噴水など7つの造形物を通り抜け、「隠された庭」にたどり着く間に、私たちは、太陽の光や風、水、雪、森の音など自然のさまざまなメッセージを感じることができます。
Although we held Kanpukai at Sapporo Sculpture Garden last year, we walked through other course. We started from “Way to the Hidden Garden” by Israeli sculptor, Dani Karavan.The main theme of this area is the dialogue between human and nature. By passing through the seven elements represented in pieces such as gates, a sundial and fountains to the hidden garden, one can feel nature’s messages from sunlight, wind, water, snow and the sound of the forest.

We joined "You're My Chair, I'm Yours 1990 and took pictures! This was fun!
昨年は紅葉していなかったヴィーゲラン広場の「母と子」像や「夏引」の彫刻がある場所も綺麗に紅葉していました。
It was the best time to see autumn leaves at Vigeland Square and "Natuhiki"

On that day, it was a special day called "Dogs Day", which people could bring their dogs with them to Sculpture Garden. We met cute dogs, too!
あっと言う間の1時間半でした。綺麗な紅葉と彫刻を楽しむことができました。
