From ancient times, center ideas of Japanese are intimacy with nature and ancestor worship. All things on earth were brought forth and ruled over by "KAMI" gods who reside throughout all nature. Nature surrounding residents such as trees, falls, mountains have been objects of worships. "行” Gyo is an old type of traditional practice to feel the nature more intimate way.
