Abstract
Flowers for a gift are not only goods, but a medium carries a message to maintain social relationship between the sender and the receiver. Some flowers are welcome, and the others are not so, in association with whether the image of the sent flowers which come to the receiver's mind meets the human relationship or not, and is suited for the purpose or not. We developed a system aimed to incorporate Kansei and many constraints into flower arrangement design. We carried out Kansei evaluation experiments on flowers and colors, and included the results into the expertise in arranging flowers for a gift. Our system proposes the flowers and the arrangement shape which suit for the image of and the relationship with the receiver, and the purpose of the gift, with filling the constrain of budget, season, portability, and the sender's requests.
