Once seen as a pastime for the older generation, Mahjong is finding a new audience from New York to Sydney.
Originating in 19th-century China, Mahjong evolved from ancient card games and became a favorite among scholars and the elite along the eastern coast. Beyond the strategy and luck, its tile designs tell a deeper story — one rooted in Chinese philosophy, cosmology, and aesthetics.
The tiles’ symbols draw from ideas like the Three Realms, four directions, and the pursuit of harmony and fortune, blending art, play, and cultural identity into a single design system that’s lasted over a century.

Australian-Chinese artist Leon Zhan(@leonzhan) is rethinking what heritage looks like in 2025. His Neo-Dynasty series fuses classic Chinese porcelain with global sports logos, turning symbols of dynasty and fandom into something new.
Each piece plays with identity, nostalgia, and obsession, like if the Ming dynasty had its own merch drop.

What happens when POP MART takes over an abandoned village?
On an island off the coast of Zhejiang, a fishing village once known as Hou Tou Wan now sits completely reclaimed by nature. Locals left in 2002, and the village has since become a living monument to time.
This year, POP MART and Ctrip Travel brought Hirono’s quiet world to this forgotten place through a public art exhibition titled “After Time.”
Known for their narratives of solitude and healing, Hirono finds new meaning here — where human time has stopped, and nature has quietly taken over.
