[The Story of the Ha Ma Tou Lineage] The Ha Ma Tou (Toad Head) lineage is a traditional variety named after its biological shape and surface texture, which resembles the broad head and textured skin of a mountain toad.

In traditional wood-bone culture, paired walnuts of this variety are appreciated for their grounded, low-profile form and comfortable hand feel. Sourced from northern growing regions, the shell structure develops solid density over time. With regular bare-hand handling, the natural wood fibers gradually deepen from a warm golden-tan into a rich reddish-brown patina.

[Product Characteristics of HMT-1505C]

• Substantial 38x42mm Deep-Belly Profile: Measures 38.0mm across the primary edges and expands to 42.0mm across the bellies. The 4mm inverse ratio gives the pair a plump, hand-filling presence that sits comfortably in the palm for smooth rotation.
• Toad-Skin Texture: The outer shell features an evenly distributed network of vertical channels, undulating folds, and hollowed-out dimples. This pattern provides a secure grip during use and comfortable tactile feedback.
• Low-Slung Apex & Stable Base: The vertical centerline seams run straight down both sides, framing the low-profile crown and broad shoulders. The underside features a flat base that sits stably on level surfaces.
• Solid Wood Density: Built with thick internal shell walls, the pair has a solid, reassuring weight in hand and produces a clear, clean click when rotated together.

[Maintenance Advice] To support an even color transition, keep this pair in a sealed bag between handling sessions during the first month. Handling directly with bare hands allows the wood to naturally absorb skin lipids and develop a smooth, aged patina over time.
