[About the "Four-Seated Tower" Variety]

The Si Zuo Lou, elegantly translating to the "Four-Seated Tower," is an absolute giant in Wenwan history, celebrated as one of the traditional "Four Famous Walnuts." It earns its legendary status from its distinct and powerful structural geometry. It features exceptionally broad, squared-off shoulders that perfectly mimic the architectural lines of an ancient Chinese pavilion. However, its true hallmark lies underneath: the Sizuolou is famous for its massive, radiating "Chrysanthemum Base" (Ju Hua Di). The deep, flowing ridges around the navel perfectly resemble a blooming chrysanthemum flower. This variety is the ultimate classic, prized for its regal posture and its ability to develop a brilliant, translucent red patina.


[Characteristics of SZL-901]

  • Ergonomic EDC Geometry: Measuring a highly portable 35.0mm in width and a streamlined 34.0mm in depth. This subtle 1mm differential is the ultimate everyday carry (EDC) sweet spot. The 35mm width provides a satisfying presence in the palm without being cumbersome, while the 34mm depth ensures they sit close to the hand for a completely effortless, non-stretching roll.
  • Classic Broad Shoulders: This pair beautifully captures the defining architectural traits of the Sizuolou lineage, showcasing the famous squared-off, strong shoulders that give them a commanding, regal presence despite their pocket-friendly size.
  • The Chrysanthemum Base: True to its heritage, the base of these walnuts displays the deep, radiating ridges that collectors actively seek out, perfectly resembling a blooming flower.
  • Expert Aging Tip: Because the Sizuolou features deep valleys and a thick shell, we highly recommend resting them in a sealed bag between handling sessions for the first two weeks. This expert technique safely utilizes natural hand oils to accelerate an even, brilliant oxidation across the entire surface, yielding a vibrant red patina far more effectively than using gloves.

You are easy to work with and are great communication.

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.

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.

Good

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.
