一些关于人与植物相互作用的研究表明，观赏植物对人类有积极的影响。本研究的目的是调查如何植物形状的松树（黑松）修剪使用Sukashi技术，这是一个重要的组成部分，自然风格的日本园林和树木没有修剪影响大脑活动和情绪反应。采用多通道红外光谱法（NIRS，OMM-2001，Shimadzu，Co.，）测量了32名大学生（20名男性和12名女性）的生理反应Ltd. Japan）。此外，还使用了15对语义差异量表上的形容词来记录被试的心理反应。结果表明，植物景观的视觉冲击引起了不同的心理生理反应。结果显示，与未修剪的树木相比，修剪过的树木具有放松效果，表现为感觉区域的脑血流量（CBF）减少，从而减少了皮肤和身体感觉。结果还表明，修剪过的苏卡西树给男女都带来了积极的印象。总之，本研究的结果表明，这些视觉认知特征的日本人与Sukashi修剪技术建议之间的关联审美意识，思想和自然风格的日本园林。
Several studies on people–plant interactions have shown that viewing plants had positive influences on human being. The objective of this study was to investigate how plant shape of Pine (Pinus thunbergii) trees pruned using the Sukashi technique, which is an important component of natural style Japanese garden and trees without pruning influenced the brain activity and emotions response. The physiological responses of 32 university students (20 males and 12 females) were measured by multi channel infrared spectroscopy (NIRS, OMM-2001, Shimadzu, Co., Ltd. Japan). Furthermore, fifteen pairs of adjectives on the semantic differential scale were used to record subjects’ psychological reactions. Based on the results, visual impact of plantscape evoked different psycho-physiological responses. The results revealed that the Sukashi pruned trees had a relaxing effect as evidenced by decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) at the feeling area compared to the unpruned trees that diminished skin and body sensations. The results also suggested that the Sukashi pruned trees provided positive impressions for both gender. In conclusion, findings of this study indicated that these visual cognitive characteristics of Japanese individuals with respect to Sukashi pruning technique suggested an association among aesthetic consciousness, thought and the natural style Japanese garden.
