 In addition, riichi hands are subject to a special type of furiten. After calling riichi, a player may decline to call on a winning tile. However, if a win is declined, then the riichi hand is subject to furiten for the remainder of the round.  Thus, all tiles discarded after the riichi declaration (as indicated by the sideways tile) are considered to be guaranteed [[genbutsu|safe tiles]]. While it is advised to declare a win on the first opportunity, some plays may require a player not to do so under very specific circumstances.  Of course, such play requires caution.
