A method for cultivating a culture of a cell, tissue, etc. There is provided a method of cultivating a culture including a cell or tissue (cell construct (2)), imparting bending motion to the culture. By virtue of applying bending force to a culture of a cell, tissue, etc. (cell construct(2)) to thereby curve the culture, continuous compression and extension in a direction of thickness from a concave portion toward a convex portion thereof are induced. The physical stimulation and deformation not attained by conventional pressurization, shear and tension, then can be loaded on the culture to thereby realize the culture appropriate for restoration of tissue at a region accompanied by bending.
