Texture is an important factor that makes a product impression. There are not many textures with adjective motifs. Therefore, some textures were created based on adjectives expressing human emotions. Eight adjectives were selected: "Safe, Fun, Embarrassed, Brave, Smart, Cunning, Precious, Innocent". After the visual evaluation of the image, the visual and tactile evaluations of the three-dimensional object were performed to evaluate how close the texture impression was to each adjective. The evaluation results showed that the adjectives might be divided into adjectives that were easy to give a common image and ones that made a large image difference depending on the individual.
