The aim of this paper was to search for the way of attaching to the spirits in nature under the time being widely known the environment-friendly life. In order to deal with this issue, the author paid attention to the meanings of traditional annual events based on the agricultural life in Japan, then also inspected in Kagura-uta, the rhymes held in the traditional festival, which was the way to communicate with Gods' wills in Japan. We could find out through these traditions the way of Kami-asobi, playing with the invisible souls the Japanese being felt in the nature, which were valuable to have in mind to respect the nature. But we lost the life valuing such annual events and Kagura-uta festivals because of the life modernized. So we should think about the ways to communicate with nature spirits instead of having those events. The conclusion of this paper was to promote and educate the life enjoying to read the classical literatures, filled with the rhymes whose words the ancient men believed to have power, wishing their lives happier, praying to invisible souls beyond the visible nature things. And we need to educate the nursery teachers to have such minds because it might be important for the environment-friendly life to nurse the children's pure sense wondering in nature.
