| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated ethno-botanically about how the regional landscape created by the use and cultivation of ritual plants of mainly the hill tribes in Southeast Asia. As a result, Lafu-red tribe living in Northern Thailand necessarily needs cotton (Gossypium spp.) during animism ritual. Therefore, they have cultivated and maintained that one for a long time around the temple and shaman’s house. We also surveyed about the use and cultivation of ritual plants in Okinawa and Nepal in addition to Thailand. People living in Sakishima islands, Okinawa believe Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) as a one of the plants to protect itself against misfortune. On the other hand, Marigold (Tagetes spp.) is very important ritual plants for the Hindus in Nepal. It became clear that the regional landscape created by these plants linked to faith are cultivated and maintained according to high necessity.
