Blue & White Chinoiserie Mahjong

CCC


My second mahjong class was yesterday. I must admit that I am learning more from my free online mahjong sources than the in person classes. Having taught both landscape design and wine classes, I know that being an expert in a subject and being able to share that knowledge with others are two different things.

I highly recommend two excellent free online resources for learning mahjong. I have mentioned the excellent video classes of Southern Sparrow. Her videos break eveything into short and very easy to understand sections. Find them here. And Mahjong 4 Friends is a free app and website where you can play with friends or AI bots with hints, suggested hands, and automatic scoring. Find it here. I was teaching my tablemates things I had learned from these sources. Neither require registering.

And a closeup of my beautiful new blue and white chinoiserie mahjong tiles. I love the little ginger jars.

At top you can see the tiles are in a Lenox British Colonial bowl. I am using a brass candle holder as a dice holder. Find the wonderful blue and white chinoiserie mahjong tiles here. They are great quality at a great price. They are engraved if you are wondering. The pouch and dice and other accessories are included. There are lots of wonderful mahjong sets out there without investing hundreds of dollars.
