Back


The Genkai set has several distinquishing features including the multi-coloured 1-Bamboo bird.

Most impressive are the BLACK tile backs. The sides of the tiles feature unique spherical-shaped "side notches". (In the old days of bamboo-backed cow-bone or ivory tiles, the bamboo back was fitted onto a notched ridge on the back of the tile. Today some sets reproduce the "notch" on the side as a decorative feature in the tile design.)

This Japanese mahjong set is finished to a high standard and is housed in a padded vinyl carrying case. The trays are lined with red felt to house the tiles comfortably and quietly.

The set comes with a red Wind Marker, scoring sticks and chips and four dice.

The set is made to Japanese specifications, with NO ARABIC NUMERALS!

The tiles measure 1 inch X 3/4 inch X 5/8 inch.

The set includes 144 tiles and features:

  • 4 Season Tiles
  • 4 "Red 5" Bonus Tiles
  • 1 Table Wind Tessera
  • 4 Dice
  • Colour Scoring Tallies and Counters
  • Felt-lined Storage Trays
  • Carrying Case
  • Illustrated guide to hands and scores
