A seated position of Buddhist images in which both legs are stretched out to one side. The name of this position is derived from the winnow 箕 (pronounces ki or mi), as it is said to resemble this agricultural instrument. This relaxed posture is found on the Benzaitenzō 弁財天像 at Tsurugaoka Hachimangū 鶴岡八幡宮 (1266) and on the Yuima Kojizō 維摩居士像 at Shōmyōji 称名寺（Kamakura period), both in Kanagawa Prefecture. Some sources indicate the kiza also refers to a seated position with one knee raised and the other folded in front of the body, as in the *rinnōza 輪王坐 position. The sculpture of the priest Gyōga 行賀 from The Six Patriarchs of the Hossō sect, Hossō Rokusō 法相六祖 in Kōfukuji 興福寺 (1189) is an example of a work considered to be in the alternate form of this position.
