Most of Kumano Kodo (old trail) network which stretches in forest area and the nature is one part of world heritage for Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range. We discussed subtle move and contrast of sequential landscape based on the relationship between walkers and natural components selected from photographs taken by themselves along Nakaheji of Kumano Kodo : 1.Surface condition of the road and surrounding vegetation, 2. Parts of vascular plant, 3. Mosses, mushrooms and ferns in forest floor, 4. Giant trees, 5. Small creatures and wild animal, 6. Dynamics and form of water, 7. Light condition. Conclusion is that such components would support to conduct an experience out of daily life of walkers and to motivate them to photograph for sharing remembrance.
