Basically, Japanese women are getting curvier due to a westernized diet. This is neither here nor there, but as someone who has worn and made (by hand) kimono over the years, and worn special pads at my waist in order to have the appropriately cyndrilical look, a part of me is sad and wonders what will happen to the traditional wearing of kimono if it's no longer appropriate to Japanese bodies and a growing sense of showing curves.
