Sitting like the Japanese while studying Torah.
Why is the foot of the letter "tov" - ת broken? Because anyone who wants to learn Torah should bend their knees when they study.
Note נז. on the bottom says that it used to be the custom to study sitting this way, as they is still the custom to sit this way in the far east.
-Medrash Otiot d'Rabi Akiva second nusach
