'''Karaten''' {{kana|カラテン}}, or '''empty tenpai''', is a state where a tenpai hand does not have the ability to win. This is due to unavailability of all instances of winning tiles. The "visible tiles" may either be discarded, used as a dora indicator, or already exist in one's hand. Furthermore, they may be held in other player's hands or even reside within the dead wall. However, the latter case is beyond a player's visibility. | '''Karaten''' {{kana|カラテン}}, or '''empty tenpai''', is a state where a tenpai hand does not have the ability to win.
