Back


Nintendo began life producing a range of high-quality Japananese Hanafuda playing card decks. They added to their range not only computer games, but also a series of high quality mahjong sets of which this elegant "Yakuman New Ivory" edition is the company's finest example.

Each finely constructed tile is shot through with a delicate "pinstripe" grain that runs vertically through the surface giving it the warmth and class of ivory. The grain elegantly sets off the character on the tile and gives the set a delicate, understated beauty that I have not seen in any other set of tiles.

The tiles made to Japanese specifications, with NO ARABIC NUMERALS and measure 1 inch X 3/4 inch X 5/8 inch. The set comes complete with Yakitori tesserae, scoring tallies and chips, wind marker and dice and is presented in a soft brushed fabric covered presentation case with handle and snap-shut clips.

This is surely the finest Japanese mahjong set available today.

The set includes 144 tiles and features:

  • 4 Season tiles
  • 4 "Red 5" bonus tiles
  • 1 Table Wind tessera
  • 4 dice
  • Scoring tallies
  • Scoring chips
  • 4 Yakitori tesserae
  • Baize Storage trays
  • Baize Carrying case with handle and snap-shut clips
  • Illustrated guide to hands and scores
  • Score sheets
