Japanese mahjong, also referred to as riichi mahjong, is a distinctive rendition of the traditional mahjong game. While the fundamental principles of the game remain intact, this variant introduces a distinct set of regulations, including features like riichi and the utilization of dora. What sets this style apart is the organized arrangement of discarded tiles, in contrast to the usual haphazard pile. This organization stems primarily from the furiten rule, which factors in the discards made by players. The popularity of this variant has surged, propelled by its portrayal in anime, manga, and online platforms.
