It can be said graft is important technique from a viewpoint of landscape from some their feature. However, their techniques have developed in pomological field. In this study, we examined about the historical transition of graft use through literature. In addition, we considered about position of graft at the industry of tree production in recent years and transmitting of graft techniques through a listening to people who have graft techniques and nursery stock producers. As a result, graft has already been done for ornamental trees at Heian era. It was thought that graft techniques were actively used in the background of the gardening cultural prosperity at Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo era. Afterwards, object of graft shifted to the fruit tree since Meiji era. About the transmitting of graft techniques, there were a lot of cases with transmission to the relative.
