The effect of tactile and visual senses on assessments of fabric hand is discussed. Twentyfive samples were collected from the point of view of the hand of fiber materials, such as silk-, wool-, cotton-, linen- and leather-like hand. Sensory qualities of these samples were rated by touch, by sight, and by both senses together. The results of judgements of SD method and similar rating method were analyzed by using factor analysis. Main conclusions were as follows. From the results of factor analysis of SD method, three factors, namely bulkiness, smoothness and stiffness, and liveliness (koshi) were obtained in the case of tactile assessment. On the other hand, same two factors, namely bulkiness, and smoothness and stiffness were obtained in the case of visual and tactivisual assessments. Furthermore, the factor structure between visual and tactivisual assessments was very similar in the point of factor lodings and contributions. From the result of similar rating method, the graph of subjective similarity on visual and tactivisual assessments showed a very similar tendency. Five fundamental factors were obtained by the factor analysis, but the wool-like hand was included in the silk-like factor as unsilky images. These factors were silk-, cotton-, linen-, suede- and leather-like hand. It became clear that the tactivisual assessment of fabric hand is influenced considerably by the sense of sight.
