As the personal computers and the workstations are widely used, the design-work supported by the drawing software is getting popular. However, the software does not assist the creative work, but provide users with the convenient tool only for drawing. Our final goal is to realize the supporting systems for the artistic pattern drawings. We have analyzed the process of the creative work and designed the user interface that supports and expands the user's creative activities. In this paper, we propose the inference method for our kansei design support system. First we summarize the special features that are indispensable for the inference method. Second we propose the new inference method, called the Fuzzy Set-based Multistage Associative Inference, to cope with the requirements. Thirdly, we analyze the characteristics of the proposed inference mechanism. Finally we demonstrate the effectiveness of the inference method through the actual design processes.
