'''Kuisagari''' {{kana|喰い下がり}} is a property of some yaku to lose value when [[naki|called open]].  By calling on a discard and opening the hand, a player sacrifices the value of 1-han per yaku for the privilege.  Sometimes, the devalue may be viewed as disadvantageous; but the sacrifice for losing han value may be gained in the form of faster hand development.  If certain tiles may be previously discarded, a player may need to make the open call, or else risk not be able to finish the hand at all. With the use of [[dora]], the value loss from an open call is regained or deemed worthwhile.

Similarly, some yaku can be scored only with a closed hand. For some yaku, such as [[mentsumo]] or [[chiitoitsu]], this is necessarily the case based on their structure or nature.  For other yaku, such as [[iipeikou]], the requirement of a closed hand is entirely artificial. These yaku are not technically instances of kuisagari, because the yaku cannot be used to fulfill the yaku requirement of an open hand: they are not considered to be yaku worth 0 han.  In doing so, yaku of the property loses value completely and may invoke possible unwinnable hands by lacking yaku.  Additionally, for [[ryanpeikou]] in particular, if it were subject to kuisagari, it would score 2 han when open, but instead it is not scored at all in an open hand.
