Fine feature of dust distribution in the central region of NGC 4151 has been studied on a V-I color image produced from 0.5" resolution images obtained by the Subaru Telescope. The two dust lanes lying along a circum-nuclear ellipse of 40"x 20" have been recognized to consist of number of fine filaments and knots. In the inner region, there has been found dust gas distributing dominantly in a bipolar cone region extending to 5" from the nucleus. This cone is exactly complementary to the well known bipolar ionized gaseous region. A dense knot is seen at 2" SE from the nuclus, but no torus-like feature is recognized. The masses of neutral gas in the outer lanes and in the inner region are estimated as 1 and 0.1 million solar masses in order of magnitude, respectively. These observaitonal results are compared with results of numerical simulations of gas dynamics.
