Mahjong originated in mid-nineteenth-century Qing China and spread across East Asia and then globally in the 1920s, with the tile game's 144-piece set, the distinct bam-crak-dot suits, and the colorful honor and flower tiles giving designers and illustrators a specific visual vocabulary that has made the game a subject for art projects well past the active gameplay community. The Art of Mahjong 2027 Wall Calendar from Andrews McMeel Publishing features twelve mahjong-themed art pieces across the year, with coverage drawn from contemporary mahjong illustrators whose work has built a following during the recent mahjong revival. Expect tile-arrangement photography alongside illustrated game scenes across the monthly pages of the year on the wall.
