Comparative Analysis of Kansei Evaluation Data between the Patterns on Kutaniyaki Porcelain and the Kutaniyaki Sinks

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the kansei evaluation data between the patterns on Kutaniyaki porcelain and the products which use the patterns. We investigated how the kansei evaluation data change when those patterns are used to develop products. The analysis was conducted using the SD profile and factor analysis in order to compare the kansei evaluation data between 30 kinds of Kutaniyaki porcelain panels and 38 kinds of Kutaniyaki sinks. As a result, it was found that the kansei evaluation can change if the size, shape and number of the patterns painted on the porcelain panels are changed when they are made into products. The above results indicate that it is necessary to pay attention to the change of size and number of the patterns when developing products by using the patterns of the porcelain.
