・自然界の動物や植物はすべて山の神様のものであり、山で採れる動物や植物は山の神様からの授かり物
『人間が生きていくには動物や植物、魚などの生命を食べないと自分が生きていけない。スーパーにあるパックに入ったお肉だけでは、生命を直接感じることはできないけど、そのパックのお肉はもともと動物として生きていたわけだ。その生命を自分で取るようになると、死んだ動物を目の前に生命をより強く感じるようになる。同時に自分の生命も強く感じて、自分は生きてることをしっかり意識して、その動物の分も生きてかなきゃならない。』

■ Words from a certain Matagi
"In order for humans to survive, they cannot live without eating life such as animals, plants, and fish. You can't feel life directly from the meat in the pack at the supermarket, but the meat in that pack originally lived as an animal. When you take that life yourself, you will feel more life in front of the dead animal. At the same time, I have to feel strongly about my life, be aware that I am alive, and live as much as the animal."
