Tsuuiisou 「字一色」 is a yakuman in which the hand consists entirely of honor tiles.

Tile pattern

Agari: or

Development

For this yakuman, all kazehai (wind tiles) and sangenpai (dragon tiles) can be used. This gives seven tiles to choose from.

Honor tiles can only be formed as triplets or pairs. Therefore, this yakuman is only reasonable when in possession of multiple toitsu (pairs) of the honor tiles. Otherwise, you can go for yaku like yakuhai and honitsu. Regarding tile discards, any tile that is not an honor tile is deemed irrelevant for the yakuman, including dora tiles. More often than not, players will call pon in order to claim and complete honor tile groups, until tenpai and eventually winning the hand (assuming to be the case).

Tsuuiisou is the fourth most common yakuman, behind the yakuman gosanke (suuankou, kokushi musou, and daisangen).

Daichiishin

Agari:

In addition to triplets, tsuuiisou can be formed in the form of chiitoitsu. This may be considered as a separate yakuman, daichiishin 「大七星」, meaning "Big Seven Stars". There are exactly seven types of honor tile, and you cannot call pon to complete the hand, so this is much harder than regular tsuiisou. This is optionally worth double yakuman.

-For this yakuman, all [[kazehai]] (wind tiles) and [[sangenpai]] (dragon tiles) can be used.  So, that gives seven tile types to choose from.  Given the nature of honor tiles, the different types cannot be mixed to form [[mentsu|tile groups]].  Therefore, they must be collected in the form of [[Mentsu#Koutsu|koutsu]] (triplets).

Otherwise, players may have to resort towards yaku, like [[yakuhai]] or [[honitsu]] for attaining [[tenpai]].  Regarding tile discards, any non-honor tile is deemed irrelevant and must be discarded.  This may include [[dora]] tiles.  More often than not, players will call "pon" in order to claim and complete honor tile groups, until tenpai and eventually winning the hand (assuming to be the case).  While it is possible to complete this hand while closed, it would seek to be in the form of a [[suuankou]] tenpai.

-A [[Optional yaku|specific variant]] to tsuuiisou is possible and can be considered as a separate yakuman, '''daichiishin''' {{kana|大七星}}, which means "Big Seven Stars".  It is a variant of [[chiitoitsu]] (seven pairs). There are exactly seven types of honor tiles, which makes this difficult pattern possible but more difficult than the regular tsuuiisou.  As a consequence, this variation remains as a closed only hand.  This is [[optional yaku|optionally]] worth [[Multiple yakuman|double yakuman]].
