'''Pinfu''' {{kana|平和}} is a [[yaku]] obtained when a closed hand has the minimum amount of [[fu]], excluding the fu from win method. It is worth 1 han and can only be scored by closed hands.
'''Pinfu''' {{kana|平和}} is a [[yaku]] obtained when a [[closed]] hand gains no [[fu]] from its composition at [[tenpai]]. In other words, it would only gain the base 20 fu and fu from the win method. It is worth 1 han and can only be scored by closed hands.

In English, pinfu is sometimes referred to as "all sequences", but that isn't the only requirement for this yaku. There are hands that have all sequences but cannot score pinfu.

The exact definition of pinfu is a closed hand that has no [[fu]], other than the fu from winning. To score pinfu:
The definition of pinfu is a closed hand that has no [[fu]], other than the fu from winning. To score pinfu:
*The hand must be closed.
*The hand must be closed.
*The hand cannot have any triplets or quads - it must be all sequences.

*Riichi + Mentsumo + Tanyao (3 han 30 fu) = 4000 points
*Riichi + Mentsumo + Tanyao (3 han 30 fu) = 4000 points


Of course, pinfu still increases your score due to the +1 han (riichi + tanyao + pinfu > riichi + tanyao). Also, once the hand reaches [[mangan]] or higher, fu no longer matter, so pinfu is worth the same as any other 1-han yaku.
