YMI – American Mahjong Set, “Bone and Bamboo Tiles” with 5-Drawer Wooden Case

A fine mahjong set brings elegance and color to a room even when it is not being played, and this set is among the finest we’ve seen. With five sliding drawers in a richly colored wooden block inlaid with shell decorations of birds in flight, this set will delight your friends and brighten your home. This set is a reproduction of the classic sets from Shanghai that first sparked mahjong’s popularity in the West in the 1920’s. The tiles are made from crisp new bamboo and cattle bone, inscribed with fabulously colored designs. Please note that this can be a handmade mahjong set made with natural materials the usage of traditional methods. Each and every tile is cut and carved one piece a time, and the characters are inked by hand. Hand cut bone and bamboo tiles are reasonably smaller than fiberglass. American Mahjong Set, “Vintage Inspired”: Just as the early imported mahjong sets from the 1920’s, this particular set is crafted from snow white cattle bone and delicate slabs of bamboo. This set is versatile (can also play Chinese Mahjong!).Handcrafted Mahjong Tiles: Each and every tile measures 1.3 x 0.9 x 0.5 inches (3.2 x 2.2 x 1.2 centimeters) and are traditional standard size, making them reasonably smaller than recent tiles. Tile markings are carved and painted by hand, and the bone and bamboo halves are dovetailed together. Since these tiles are handcrafted, the color and shape charmingly and subtly vary from tile to tile and from set to set.Mahjong Accessories: Includes 166 tiles consisting of 36 dots, 36 bams, 36 craks, 12 dragons, 16 winds, 16 flowers, 10 jokers, and 4 blank spares; a pair of dice, a set of betting sticks, four wind tiles for determining seating placement, and illustrated instructions are also included. Please note: Racks don’t seem to be included in the set.Classic Five Drawer wooden Case: The box measures 9.3 x 6.7 x 7.5 inches (23.5 x 17 x 19 centimeters).
