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.

== 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. | |||
