Also known as: Bamboo one tile, Sou one tile, Mahjong bird tile
The one of bamboo, the only tile in the bamboo suit that shows a bird rather than a count of canes.
Is the one of bamboo, the lowest rank of one of mahjong's three numbered suits.

Shows a bird rather than a single cane, so it is the one tile in the suit whose rank cannot be read by counting and the one a new player misidentifies.
Contexts: History
A bird drawn upright on the flat rectangle of the tile face, standing where every other tile of the suit shows a count of straight canes.
