Mahjong Yon-Shimai: Wakakusa Monogatari [ 麻雀四姉妹 若草物語 ] is a strip mahjong game developed by Maboroshi Ware and published by Naxat Soft. The game released exclusively in Japan on the SEGA Saturn, and is a console port of the arcade game of the same name.

Naxat released a small selection of mahjong games, but this would be the publisher's only console strip mahjong genre game. The characters in the game were designed by Hiroyuki Utatane. The game is most recognizable for having detailed character portraits of whom you're playing against in-game, whereas most mahjong games feature either very small portrait head-shots or no character visuals at all during mahjong play.

This game was one of the twenty-three SEGA Saturn retail releases to receive SEGA's Red X rating, for nudity present during the strip scenes.
