Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have been developing a novel Web-based question answering system that collects people's opinions about a user's question or concern on the Web, and shows a general view and summarization of the opinions. This system will be able to answer users' questions requesting opinions, for example, ``How do people think about mothers always getting angry?'' In this paper, we propose a system that collects the Web pages which are related with a user's question, extracts impressions from each of the Web pages, and plots the results on an impression plane. Users can take a general view of people's opinions about their concern through two impression planes; One is a plane spanned by impression scales ``Anticipation -- Surprise'' and ``Acceptance -- Disgust'', and the other is a plane spanned by impression scales ``Joy -- Sadness'' and ``Fear -- Anger''. Note that, in this system, the impressions of a text part are represented as scale values between 0 and 1 in the four impression scales mentioned above.
