Pink Sakura Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Table Mat

Two blossom-laden branches reach across the soft pink sky of this pink sakura mahjong mat, clouds of cherry flowers drifting past a gold moon while a pair of sparrows perch among the petals. Falling blossoms trail toward a red-and-gold cloud border and a fine geometric frame at the edge.

It reads like a spring evening in an old scroll painting. The pale sky keeps tiles easy to see, the blossom branches sit at the corners so the center stays clear, and the sparrows give the whole scene a quiet life. Guests slow down and look before the first wall goes up.

The Art: Sakura and Sparrows

Each cherry flower is painted petal by petal in shell pink and rose, massed along dark twisting branches with a gold harvest moon behind. Two sparrows rest among the blooms, and a border of drifting petals steps out to a red cloud band in the chinoiserie manner. Detail gathers in the branches and the frame, leaving open sky in the middle where hands move between rounds. A full sakura scene with birds, not a tidy motif, is what sets this design apart.

On the Table

Neoprene construction gives it a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. Shuffle a wall and the soft surface quiets the clatter, the twittering of the sparrows, while staying kind to tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color deep in the fabric so it lasts through years of weekly games without cracking or fading.

Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"

The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for smaller tables, tighter corners and travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (80 x 80 cm) is the full-size field most groups pick for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Size up if your foursome likes elbow room.
