Through the study of the form and the history of the certain rite, we can understand the thought patterns and behavior rules behind it. In the scope of the Japanese craftsmanship, Kongo Gumi is considered to be the oldest group of craftsmen in Japan.

Subsequently, this thesis introduces the existing mode of the ceremony of carpenter with hatchet in Kongo Gumi, discusses the ideological representation behind its objects system and behavior mode.
