I came across a lot of Japanese words meaning "feeling" (as can be seen in
Jisho.org):

  * 感情{かんじょう} ( _kanjou_ )
  * 気持ち{きもち} ( _kimochi_ )
  * 感覚{かんかく} ( _kankaku_ )
  * 感じ{かんじ} ( _kanji_ )
  * 心持ち{こころもち} ( _kokoromochi_ )
  * 心地{ここち} ( _kokochi_ )
  * 感触{かんしょく} ( _kanshoku_ )
  * 情感{じょうかん} ( _joukan_ )
  * 情緒{じょうちょ} ( _joucho_ )

Most are already covered in [this question from
2014](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/15472/), but unfortunately,
not all of them. Therefore, my question here is supposed to be a continuation
of that question, to fill the gaps of the missing words, and by no means a
duplicate.

The words that weren't addressed in the linked question are the last four:

  * 心地{ここち} ( _kokochi_ )
  * 感触{かんしょく} ( _kanshoku_ )
  * 情感{じょうかん} ( _joukan_ )
  * 情緒{じょうちょ} ( _joucho_ )

What are the differences in usage among them all? And can all of them be used
in casual speech?

question
word-choice words nuances
Another four words meaning "feeling", what are their differences?
When all’s said and done, you could only grasp their difference in meaning by
using these nouns in commonly used, practical phrases:

生きた **心地** がしなかった : I **_felt like_** my heart was in my mouth (as the chopper
was caught in a thunderstorm).

ひんやりとした **感触** です: (something) **_feels_** cool **_to the touch_**

**情感** 豊かにピアノで曲を演奏する: play a piano piece in a way that **_moves_** people's
**_hearts_**

**情緒** 不安定: the state of being **_emotionally_** unstable
