This mahjong set is sourced from the late 20th century – a time when the game had reached its zenith in China. It’s crafted in wood and complete with intricate tiles of symbols and characters. You’ll note that the box is detailed with a snippet from one of Wang Zhihuan’s poems, titled Climbing White Stork Tower. From right to left, it translates from Chinese to read ‘in order to see thousands of miles further afield, to a higher level one must go’. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
