Great Wave Mahjong Mat | Japanese Tattoo Mahjong Mat

Why play on a mahjong mat?

Mahjong is loud. Washing 150-odd tiles across a bare table clatters, scratches the surface and sends tiles sliding. A mahjong mat gives the tiles a soft, quiet surface, stops them skating around, and protects your table.

It also turns any table into a proper mahjong table. Roll it out on the kitchen table, a card table or the floor and the game is set.

Drawn to match the tiles

Most mahjong mats are plain felt or pastel prints. The Great Wave mat carries the same bold black line, teal water and gold that run through the Irezumi Mahjong Set, so the whole table looks like one piece of art.

Made for game night

Lay the mat flat, build the walls on top and play. A non-slip base keeps it in place when the table gets lively, and the stitched edge stops it fraying.

Questions

What does a mahjong mat do?

A mahjong mat gives the tiles a soft surface. It cuts the noise of shuffling, stops tiles sliding and protects your table from scratches.

What size mahjong mat do I need?

A mat should cover the playing area of your table with room for four walls and four racks. We will publish the exact size of the Great Wave mat at launch.

Does the mat come with the set?

The mat is sold separately and in bundles with the Irezumi Mahjong Set. Bundle pricing goes to the waitlist first.

Are these photos of the real mat?

Not yet. The image is a concept render. Photos of the finished mat will replace it before launch.
