Kansei engineering aims to translate feelings and impressions into product parameters. Research and development projects with 'kansei' as a keyword are becoming more numerous , including a small number of proposals in the fields of agriculture, food and green amenity, etc. In our current research we aim to develop new agricultural products and food which have color, form, scent, etc. which consumers evaluate favorably, and to design, develop, and evaluate office, house, urban and rural spaces with a comfortable nature or curative effects. In the research reported in this paper we aimed at introducing kansei information in design, development and evaluation in the food and environmental fields by performing facial expression analysis. We acquired images of facial expressions with kansei information and analysed them using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). FACS enabled us to pinpoint the tendency and attention area for every face part. The important face feature points and change between nodes in face node images were able to be obtained.
