    The XMASS detector is a large single phase liquid Xenon scintillator.After its feasibility had been studied using a 100 kg size prototype detector, an 800 kg size detector is being built for dark matter search with the sensitivity of 1045cm210^{-45} {\rm cm}^2 region in spin-independent cross section. The results of R\&D study for 800 kg detector, especially ultra low background technologies, and the prospects of the experiment are described.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, for the proceedings of the 1st International Workshop towards the Giant Liquid Argon Charge Imaging Experiment (GLA2010, will be published in Journal of Physics, Conference Series (Editors: T. Hasegawa and A. Rubbia)
