Diagonal  

The joseki for this response to the 3-4 point low approach two-space low pincer are in general similar to those for the 3-4 point low approach two-space high pincer diagonal.

A couple of points of difference.

Shutting White in?  

The position of the pincer black+square means that after the typical plays B1 and W2, B3 is attractive to shut White in loosely. Now W4 is good shape to come out. but Black will be happy enough to answer at a, considering B3 an inducing move.

In this case B1 is also seen, leading to this set shape. Black's black+square stone on the upper side has a chance now to settle.
