Summary: The pion was introduced by Yukawa as the mediator of nucleon-nucleon interaction to bind nucleons in nucleus. Due to its characteristic properties, however, the pion had not be used until recent years for description of nuclei. We present here a newly developed method to treat the pion exchange interaction in nuclei. We study nuclear structure by using the chiral sigma model Lagrangian in the relativistic chiral mean field model with projection. The pion develops mean field and provides a magic number effect. We demonstrate also the ability of treating tensor interaction due to pion exchange in terms of tensor optimized shell model.
