'''Kazehai''' {{kana|風牌}} consists of the wind tiles.  They are denoted as East, South, West, and North tiles in order.
'''Kazehai''' {{kana|風牌}} consists of the wind tiles.  They are denoted as '''East, South, West, and North''' tiles in order.  As many players notice, the wind order does not emulate the Western cardinal counterclockwise order of: East, North, West, and South.  For the mahjong order, two of the four cardinal directions are swapped, to produce the counterclockwise order of: East, South, West, and North.


For [[yakuhai]], the wind tiles directly corresponds to [[Jikaze|wind seating]].  The [[oya|dealer]] is always seated East.  To the right of the dealer is always South; across is always West; and the dealer's left is always seated North.  As the dealer position rotates counterclockwise at appropriate time, the wind seating rotates along with the position.  Collecting tile groups of all four types into one hand produces the [[Suushiihou|wind based yakuman]].

With regards to [[dora]], the wind order mimics that of the seat wind order.  It is important to note the dealer position, as well as the seat wind order in order to properly use [[yakuhai]].
