“Four Towers” Hand Therapy Walnuts & Care Kit

Our hand therapy walnuts come as a pair inside a traditional brocade box, accompanied with a care kit (oil, brush, and a two-sided cleaning pick). The Four Towers variety is available in two sizes, and in polished and unpolished. (When first starting, it is advised to start with the smallest size possible, which makes movement easier.) Four Towers walnuts are produced in Pinggu, Beijing. They have a big belly, and the small mountain-shaped head has a dull, rounded point. The texture resembles flowing water. The walnut “leather” is high quality, with a slow color-aging process, able to endure lots of play. Many years of play will result in a walnut leather that looks shiny and glossy. When starting off with these walnuts, you have two options: polished or unpolished. Raw (unpolished) walnuts are for purists. You begin with a pale, matte shell and slowly cultivate depth through daily rolling: 10–20 minutes a day, ideally with clean hands. It’s a meditative ritual that rewards discipline
