No player retains the same wind position throughout the game, unless the game happens to end before a wind rotation occurs. During the [[hanchan|course of the game]], the dealer seat rotates among the four players. So, naturally, the designation for East also rotates with the dealer position. Likewise, the designations for the other winds rotate in a similar fashion. At all times, the counterclockwise order remains the same: '''East, South, West, and North'''. | No player retains the same wind position throughout the game, unless the game happens to end before a wind rotation occurs.

At all times, the player sitting at East is noted as the '''[[oya]]''', or dealer. | |||
== Initial wind order == | |||
At the [[Japanese_mahjong_setup#Dealer_order|very beginning of the game]], players are initially assigned the wind seating. Here, players can note the order at which they can attain the dealer position. A number of methods can be used for the initial wind designations. Players have the discretion to choose the preferred method. | |||

Players who collect corresponding wind tiles to their wind seat gains possesses [[yaku|1-yaku]], and in turn, [[scoring|1-han]]. If a player's wind also corresponds with the round wind, then collection of their own wind is double, or worth 2-han. Commonly, the round wind is limited to either [[Hanchan|East]] or [[Hanchan|South]]. Some games may extend into the [[West round]]. | Players who collect corresponding wind tiles to their wind seat gains possesses [[yaku|1-yaku]], and in turn, [[scoring|1-han]].

== Orientation relative to self == | |||
In addition to wind designations, three terms are used to designate other players relative to oneself. They are: | |||
* '''Shimocha''' {{kana|下家}}, or player to the right | |||
* '''Toimen''' {{kana|対面}}, or player across | |||
* '''Kamicha''' {{kana|上家}}, or player to the left | |||
These designations do not necessarily take into account of wind position, which changes in relation to each other. As the wind designations change, the relative position to oneself does not. | |||
