Japanese mahjong sets usually come with 144 tiles in a case. Usually, every tile is dual colored, with every tile having the same colored back side; and these colors vary from one set to another. Some sets come with tiles whose front and back side are of the same color. Even then, a specialized set called a "Washizu set" features 3 out of 4 tiles using transparent acrylic material. | Japanese mahjong sets usually come with 144 tiles in a case.

For Japanese mahjong, 136 out of 144 tiles are used. The extra tiles are four red five [[dora]] tiles: one for manzu and souzu, and two for pinzu. To use these tiles, regular five tiles are switched with the red dora. The remaining four tiles are four flower tiles, which are not used at all. Typically, Japanese tiles are individually about the size 16 mm x 19 mm x 26 mm (WLH). Like most mahjong tile sets, these tiles are capable of standing on their own. | For Japanese mahjong, 136 out of 144 tiles are used.
