[You Get the Exact Pair Shown Here]
You will receive the exact pair of Da Cu Jin (大粗筋 / Bold Thick-Ribbed) Wenwan walnuts shown in these photographs.
This impressive pair stands out for its exceptionally pronounced rib structure and substantial, full-bodied appearance. The defining feature of the Da Cu Jin variety is its bold, thick ridges, which create a dramatic layered texture across the shell.
The surface displays a fascinating combination of raised ridges, deep natural grooves, and irregular sculptural folds. Viewed from different angles, the prominent horizontal ribs reveal an almost architectural quality, giving each walnut a distinctive three-dimensional appearance.
Both walnuts have a substantial presence, with strong textural character and a cohesive overall pairing. For collectors who appreciate bold shell structures and deeply defined natural patterns, this is an especially appealing example.
This is a single unique inventory item, carefully selected and hand-matched. Each walnut has been pre-cleaned and base-prepped.

The Story of the Form
The name Da Cu Jin (大粗筋) literally refers to large, thick ribs — the defining characteristic of this distinctive Wenwan walnut form.
Unlike varieties recognized primarily for delicate surface patterns, Da Cu Jin makes its impression through bold structural features. Its thick, raised ridges create strong visual divisions across the shell, while the deep channels between them add considerable depth and dimension.
The appeal of this variety lies in its rugged natural character. Every ridge and groove contributes to a complex surface that becomes increasingly interesting as you examine the walnuts from different angles.
For collectors who appreciate pronounced natural relief, substantial proportions, and expressive shell architecture, Da Cu Jin is a variety worth exploring.

Shopping with this company is easy. They are organized , have helpful blogs on the WenWan nuts. Check out is simple. They answer questions. I give them 5 huge stars. ⭐️
Great seller, beautiful walnuts, and very satisfied with the customer service! Will definitely buy again!
I am very happy with all my purchases and the attention given to each one. This is an outstanding company
Incredible service, I ordered a pair that sadly could not be shipped on account of a website error. Normally that would be a red flag; in this case however, an agent reached out to me immediately, allowed me to pick out an even higher quality pair and included some very thoughtful gifts. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and what started out as a mistake will have me returning here first whenever I want to expand my collection.
Class acts!
I ordered my Wenwans about 13 days ago. After contacting this company about a shipping issue they were able to solve it immediately as well as to rush the order. Literally just got mine today and they are absolutely gorgeous and very large! My Pair# is DGM-901. These are my very first high grades ones. Bought some crappy amazon ones for like 6 bucks to practice. I cannot wait to start my journey with these. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and quality control!
Thank you!
This company is Stellar. I’ve enjoyed the products I’ve Boughten for myself and gifts Ives given.
Love that you have miniature walnuts for those of us who have small hands.
These guys a great. Walnuts are high quality, and what you see is what you get, no random pairs that you may not like.
I've got 5 pairs off of them so far, and none have any flaws: no yellowing, pin holes, worm marks or cracks.
I'm not an expert, but I can't detect any dyes or processing on the nuts I have received.
They get back to you quickly if you have questions or issues.
Shipping is a couple weeks to canada since its off shore orgin. No big deal.
I do wish they would post the weights of the pairs as well in the listings, but this is minor.
I consider Zenwalnut to be the best north american walnut vendor hands down.
The box it came with is great and well made. The walnuts are out of this world. I don’t know how you find a three ridge mutation (Spartan motif) with such a good pairing. Even the basins complement each other, one elavated and the other depressed so they fit together. I highly recommend this seller if you want a reliable place where you can find rare, high quality walnuts. What you see in the pictures and videos is what you get. These are my second pair from zenwalnuts and I love both of them, thank you
The first pair I bought was a pair of minis, Packaging was amazing! Display case, and brushes were all under $100. I've been using them for just over a week. Excellent quality, I have dropped them once on accident of course over concrete while outside on the patio. I was quite concerned, I gave them a look over and no cracks, chips, or scratches were found. I am now looking into higher valued pairs. I will be buying other pairs for birthday gifts and collections. I posted them on FB and will continue to keep updates of the transformation every so often.
