Small blue-and-white vignettes of garden pavilions, moon gates and leafy branches sit in circular medallions at the center and edges over a soft powder-blue ground. This blue chinoiserie mahjong mat keeps things airy and spare, delicate porcelain-style scenes and a fine key-fret border leaving most of the field open.
On a set table it reads calm and quietly elegant. The powder blue makes ivory tiles read clean, and the little pavilion scenes reward a closer look between hands. Blue, gold or cream racks all suit it.
The Art: Pavilion Vignettes
Blue-and-white garden scenes, moon gates, arched bridges and leafy sprigs set in round medallions over soft powder blue, drawn in a spare willow-ware style. The center holds one small vignette, so the play area, where hands rest between the walls, stays open while the scenes hold the edges. A pavilion roundel marks the middle.
On the Table
Neoprene made, smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base that grips any surface. The soft face quiets the shuffle and protects tile faces. Walls stay standing. Racks, jokers and dice sit steady. Dye-sublimation sets the powder blue and white into the fabric, so the scenes keep their crispness 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) suits smaller tables, tight corners and travel. The 31.5" x 31.5" (81 x 81 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. Four at a fixed table? Go large.
A Gift for the Blue-and-White Lover

- Someone learning the game who prefers an airy, open field
- Players matching a mat to a powder-blue or blue-and-white room
Brush it off after play, wipe with a damp cloth if the night got lively, and store it rolled rather than folded.
