 JOURNEY INTO THE EXOTIC WORLD OF MAH JONGG

Inspired by the museum exhibition Project Mah Jongg, Ann Israel took mah jongg lessons with a group of friends, including Gregg Swain, the co-author of her recent book, Mah Jongg: The Art of the Game. When they started playing, they also began to appreciate the spectacular vintage sets that still existed, and soon Israel purchased her first. As Israel and Swain continued to collect vintage sets, each piece added to their appreciation of the art of the game. Join Israel as she shares images and stories of the most exquisite and rare mah jongg sets and ephemera.

The first part of the article, Mah Jongg in the Lives of Jewish Women was written by Sarah Blustain and the second part, Tiles & Tribulations was written by Blustain and Dorothy Stern.

I will be interested to hear your comments, especially about Arthur Schwartz‘s remarks (actually, his mother’s theory) about why we play Mah Jongg and gaming in general.

Sit back and enjoy! Continue reading →
