Formal Japanese [[sitting]] position. Formed by [[kneeling]] on the floor and then resting the buttocks on the heels, keeping the legs folded under the thighs and the top side of the feet flat on the ground.

If the legs are folded out to either side, it's instead known as [[wariza]], and if they are only to one side, it's called [[yokozuwari]].
