The Netherlands were not only the first country to hold a riichi tournament in 2010, they were the first to hold an MERS riichi tournament. The annual Cherry Blossom tournament attracted 60 players not only from the Netherlands but also Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Finland and the UK.
Hi everyone. How has your mahjong been lately?Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yu Takehana. I'm currently a member of the JPML and participating at D3 of the Phoenix league.
I will begin this column this month. I will report on riichi mahjong news especially in Japan. I know that Jenn and Garthe have been doing live update of riichi mahjong news, notably their pod-casting; however, what I will try to do instead is reporting riichi mahjong news from a Japanese point of view.
