Research Abstract	The essential matter of religiosity that works on "human-animal relationship" is the "type of relationship" that has function to connect our two universe, that is natural (wild) and cultural (urban) space. This type of relationship can be schematized using two axis, that is "space of relationship" and "pattern of relationship". In contemporary Japan, Bali, Java and Australian Aborigine, we can find out every case that represent each "type of relationship", and also we can emphasize the character of each case by using this schema.
