A hand is '''menzenchin''' {{kana|門前清}}, '''menzen''' for short, or "closed" in English, when it has not called on another player's discarded tile. This means the player has not called [[chii]], [[pon]], or an open [[kan]]. A closed kan (kan when drawing all 4 tiles yourself) does not break menzenchin.
A hand is '''menzenchin''' {{kana|門前清}}, '''menzen''' for short, or "closed" in English, when it has not called on another player's discarded tile. This means the player has not called [[chii]], [[pon]], or an open [[kan]]. A closed kan (kan when drawing all 4 tiles yourself) does not break menzenchin. Only closed hands can score certain [[yaku]].


A hand that is not closed is known as an open hand. This would be a hand that has called [[chii]], [[pon]], or an open [[kan]]. If a hand is open, it cannot score some [[yaku]], and other yaku are reduced in value. While an open hand is usually less valuable than a closed one, but it has the ability to use chii and pon to complete faster.
