Lotus pads and pink buds drift at the corners over a soft sage-green ground, faint ripples and a few fallen petals tracing the water, a small lotus-bud roundel at the center. This sage chinoiserie mahjong mat keeps things quiet and spacious, delicate pond details and a fine key-fret border leaving the middle open.
On a set table it reads restful and clean. The soft green makes ivory tiles the focus, and the lotus pads sit gently at the edges without crowding the play. Wood, gold or cream racks all suit the calm.
The Art: Lotus Pond Corners
Green lotus pads, pink buds and drifting petals over faint water ripples, drawn in a spare, airy style on sage. The center stays wide open, so the play area, where hands rest between the walls, has room to breathe while the pond details hold the corners. A small lotus-bud roundel marks the middle.
On the Table
Neoprene built, smooth fabric top on a non-slip rubber base that grips wood or glass. The soft surface quiets the shuffle and is gentle on tile faces. Walls hold. Racks, jokers and dice sit comfortably. Dye-sublimation sets the sage and blush into the fabric, so the pond keeps its calm through years of weekly games with no cracking or fading. This one suits Chinese mahjong and Riichi tables as much as American groups.
Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"
The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) suits smaller tables, tight corners and travel to club night. 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 regulars at home? Size up.
A Gift for the Minimalist
- The hostess who likes a calm, restful table
- Weekly groups and Riichi players who want the tiles to lead
- Someone learning the game who prefers a quiet, open field
- Players matching a mat to a sage, green or zen room
Brush it off after the game, wipe with a damp cloth if the night got lively, and keep it rolled, never folded.
