In Japan, the ''[[wikipedia:Seiza|seiza]]'' (literally "correct sitting") position is a very formal kind of kneeling, sitting on your heels with big toes crossed. The position features heavily in tea ceremony, meditation, martial arts, and other formal rituals. This is not an easy position to get used to, and can become uncomfortable very quickly.
Line 20:
* ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'': Yasuna and Hazumu can sit in ''seiza''; Tomari and Asuta can't.
* In the ''[[Ranma ½]]'' manga and one of the OVAs, there is a form of martial arts called the [[Cooking Duel|Martial Arts Tea Ceremony]], conducted entirely from ''seiza''. Ranma requires a ribbon tied around her ankles to stay that way for the entire fight.
* In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'' the entire cast take part in a tea ceremony where they sit like this. Kaoru, Aoi and Miyabi who all come from rich families find little problem with this while the rest of [[The Unwanted Harem]]
* Yuuki in ''Mugen Densetsu Takamagahara Dream Saga'' uses seiza as a punishment.
* Happened in the animated version of ''[[Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na]]''. There, also used as a punishment.
