We performed a far-IR imaging survey of the circumstellar dust shells of 144 evolved stars as a mission program of the AKARI infrared astronomical satellite. Our objectives were to characterize the far-IR surface brightness distributions of the cold dust component in the circumstellar dust shells. We found that (1) far-IR emission was detected from all but one object, (2) roughly 60–70 % of the target sources showed some extension, (3) 29 sources were newly resolved in the far-IR in the vicinity of the target sources, (4) the results of photometry measurements were reasonable with respect to the entries in the AKARI/FIS Bright Source Catalogue, and (5) an IR two-color diagram would place the target sources in a roughly linear distribution that may correlate with the age of the circumstellar dust shell.
