We examine the constraints on the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS) lepton mixing matrix from present and future experimental data of the neutrino oscillation and lepton number violation processes. We introduce a graphical representation of the CP violation phases which appear in the lepton number violation processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay, the μ--e+ conversion, and the K decay, K-π+μ-μ-. Using this graphical representation, we derive the constraints on the CP violation phases in the lepton sector.
