'''Atozuke''' {{kana|後付け}} describes a "yakuless" [[tenpai]] which gains [[yaku]] upon winning. In other words, the current state of the hand does not produce yaku while tenpai. This typically involves an open hand, but can also apply to closed hands without [[riichi]]. It is also called '''sakizuke''' {{kana|先付け}}.

When a hand is subject to atozuke, it may win if it draws the "[[takame|higher value]]" tile. However, it is usually unable to win off the "[[yasume|lesser]]" tile, since it would lack yaku. Such hands may still win with the lesser tile if it gains a conditional yaku (like [[haitei]] or [[rinshan]]). Otherwise, it cannot win. Thus, if the lesser tile is drawn, the hand is subject to [[furiten]].

Atozuke is subject to [[Rule variations#Atozuke|rule variations]]. When the atozuke rule is disabled ("atozuke nashi"), you must have a confirmed yaku before winning (and sometimes, before making any call). The more common rule, by far, is to allow atozuke. Rules disabling atozuke are rare, mostly found in specific [[jansou|mahjong parlor]]s.

When using rule #1, when the hand's closed section guarantees a yaku, and the yaku is "complete" before tenpai, the hand can always win. In this case, the hand has a closed hatsu triplet. (Even if the hatsu triplet was drawn after the 789-sou call, there would be practically no way to enforce it, so "drawing yaku after calling" is fine so long as it isn't your final wait.)
When the hand's closed section ''guarantees a specific yaku'', and the winning tile is not related to completing said yaku, the hand is never subject to atozuke. Even under rule #1, it will always be eligible to win.
 
*In this case, the hand has a closed hatsu triplet, so it can always win. Even if the hatsu triplet was drawn after the 789-sou call, there would be no practical way to prove you didn't have the hatsu triplet before calling. Therefore, "drawing yaku after calling" is allowed so long as you "complete" the yaku before winning.
Note: for a whole hand yaku, like [[honitsu]] and [[chanta]], the hand can win even if the yaku wasn't complete at the time of calling. For a yaku like chanta, so long as the final wait guarantees chanta, an open hand is allowed.
*For whole hand yaku, like [[honitsu]] and [[chanta]], the hand's closed section is considered to have "guaranteed the yaku". Therefore, even if the hand didn't qualify for honitsu at the time of the first call, you can win with an open honitsu-only hand. (For a yaku like chanta, your waits still need to guarantee chanta to not be atozuke.)
