Seiza Stool
How do we get use to the japanese way of sitting? (seiza)?
Hi, I’m just wondering if we could practice Seiza for newbies? Seiza as i mean the correct sitting for the Japanese people. What are the steps for us to maintain in the posture for more than 10 minutes without helps of the special stool? Well you seem I’ve heard that Seiza activity are good for the legs if you’re used to it. But I can only last a maximum of 3minutes. My legs will be numb after sitting in that way.
Then how japanese traditional people managed to master that seiza sitting within a few months?
There are usually some short stools available, or pillows which is more common in households.
If you’re just in an informal place like someone’s house, it’s okay to move around or get up since you’re not used to it. If in a formal setting there are stools available.
In informal places, or if you’re a guy, you can sit cross legged unless you are wearing a kimono or anything that could expose yourself.
