NOTES FROM OUR TABLE

How to host an unhurried mahjong afternoon

Start with a comfortable table and a little natural light. Add your favorite cups, something simple to share, and enough chairs for the friends who make an ordinary day feel special.

You don’t need a formal occasion. A standing invitation and a familiar group can be reason enough.

Keep the rules close, the tea warm, and the afternoon open. There’s always time for one more story.
