  The structure of exotic nuclei sheds new light on the linkage of the nuclear
structure to the nucleonic interaction. The self-consistent mean-field (SCMF)
theories are useful to investigate this linkage, which are applicable to many
nuclei covering almost the whole range of the nuclear chart without artificial
truncation of model space. For this purpose, it is desired to develop effective
interaction for the SCMF calculations well connected to the bare nucleonic
interaction. Focusing on ground-state properties, I show results of the SCMF
calculations primarily with the M3Y-type semi-realistic interaction, M3Y-P6 and
M3Y-P6a to be precise, and discuss in detail how the nucleonic interaction
affects structure of nuclei including those far off the $\beta$-stability.
