It is the traditional informal sitting style for Japanese women. If the legs are folded out to only one side, then it is called [[yokozuwari]]. The other Japanese names are: 女の子座り ([i]onna-no-ko-zuwari[/i], girl's sitting), アヒル座り ([i]ahiru-zuwari[/i], duck sitting) or ぺたん座り ([i]petan-zuwari[/i], flat surface sitting).
