We have been conducting PISCES project (Panoramic Imaging and Spectroscopy of Cluster Evolution with Subaru; Kodama et al. 2005) with making use of the wide-field imaging capability of Subaru. Our motivations are first to map out large scale structures and define local envioronments of galaxies therein, and then to investigate the variation in galaxy properties as a function of environment and mass. We have completed multi-colout imaging of 8 distant clusters between 0.4 < z < 1.3 so far, and we have mapped out filamentary/clumpy structures in and around the clusters across 15–30 Mpc scales (see some examples in Fig. 1). These two clusters have secure spectroscopic confirmation of the physical association of the structures to the main body of the clusters. From the photometric and spectroscopic properties of galaxies over a wide range in environment, we have found that the truncation of galaxies is seen in the outskirts of clusters rather than in cluster cores. We have also seen a clear environmental dependence of the “down-sizing” in the sense that the stage of down-sizing is delayed in lower density environments.
