Since a non-riichi hand ''could'' change its waits every turn, temporary furiten only lasts 1 turn. For example, say Opponent A is in open tenpai. Opponent B discards 5-sou. making it safe for a turn. Opponent A could change waits to 5-sou, so even if temporary furiten lasted permanently, the 5-sou would not be safe. But, since riichi forbids changing waits, permanent furiten lasts until the end of the hand. | |||

* The best [[tile efficiency]] discards can occasionally cause furiten (e.g., discard a lone 1-sou, draw a 3-sou then 2-sou.). | |||
* When defending and developing the hand simultaneously, a furiten tenpai might occur. | |||
* Rarely, a [[dama]] hand can intentionally choose to enter furiten. In this case, the hand is in tenpai, but after a winning tile is drawn, the player declares riichi instead of a win - immediately entering furiten. This is often done to score a yaku like [[pinfu]] or [[sanshoku]]. | |||

Therefore, it is not horrible to keep a wait that could cause furiten later. So long as you complete the wait before tenpai, there is no punishment. | ||
