The Walnut Museum is a striking example of Asian veneration of the natural world. Here works of nature are displayed as masterpieces from famous therapeutic walnuts (turned in the hand for accupressure massage) to various rocks and bansai trees. The value of these items is based on certain patterns found in them or other qualities that have been deemed auspicious, usually based on the rareness of their occurrence and quality of the pattern.
