Mahjong gifts with a bit of ink


Gifts for mahjong players who want their table to look like nobody else's. Every piece is drawn in Japanese irezumi tattoo style.

Mahjong gifts for him

Mahjong's comeback has been led by women's game nights, and partners are getting pulled in. The trouble is most designer sets are pastel, floral and preppy. The Irezumi Mahjong Set has dragons, koi and a hannya mask in bold black line, red and gold. It's the set he'll actually want to play.

Mahjong gifts for her

For the player who already owns a pretty set, give her the one nobody else at the table has. Peonies and cherry blossom sit beside the dragons, and the lacquer case looks like it belongs on a shelf, not in a cupboard.

Gifts for tattoo lovers

If they're covered in ink, they'll know these designs: the dragon, the koi, the hannya mask, the peony and the wave. Each one carries meaning in Japanese tattooing. Read about them in the Journal.

Questions

What is a good mahjong gift?

A beautiful set is the gift every player wants but rarely buys for themselves. Mats, bags and racks make great smaller gifts that every table needs.

What mahjong gift can I buy for a man?

Most designer mahjong sets are pastel and floral. A dark set with dragons, koi and a hannya mask is one he will actually want on the table.

Is mahjong a good gift for a beginner?

Yes. Mahjong is easy to learn with friends, and a set they love the look of gives them a reason to start. Our set plays American, Hong Kong and Chinese rules.
