Japanese Mahjong
Japanese Mahjong (Japanese: 麻雀, 麻将 or マージャン; ''mājan''), also known as Rīchi Mahjong, is a variation of mahjong. While the basic rules to the game are retained, the variation features a unique set of rules such as ''rīchi'' and the use of ''dora''. The main mahjong article contains general terms, but only English and Japanese terms are used here. Terms like "chow," "pung," and "kong" are not used in this variation, yet their functions are still used. Instead, they are referred to in Japanese as ''chī'', ''pon'', and ''kan''.
==History==
In 1924, a soldier named Saburo Hirayama brought the game to Japan. In Tokyo, he started a mahjong club, parlor, and school.〔 In the years after, the game dramatically increased in popularity. In this process, the game itself was simplified from the Chinese version. Then later, additional rules were adopted to increase the complexity.〔http://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Mah-Jong.htm〕
Mahjong, as of 2010, is the most popular table game in Japan.〔Pakarnian, John, "Game Boy: Glossary of Japanese Gambling Games", ''Metropolis'', January 22, 2010, p. 15.〕 As of 2008, there were approximately 7.6 million mahjong players and about 8,900 mahjong parlors in the country. The parlors did 300 billion yen in sales in 2008.〔Matsutani, Minoru, "(Mah-jongg ancient, progressive )", ''Japan Times'', June 15, 2010, p. 3.〕 There are several manga and anime devoted to dramatic and comic situations involving mahjong (see ''Media'').〔Schodt, Frederik, ''Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics''. Kodansha, 1986, Chapter 5〕 Japanese video arcades have introduced mahjong arcade machines that can be connected to others over the Internet. There are also video game versions of strip mahjong.
