Kimono is not underwear': Kardashian shapewear irks Japan

Japanese took to social media on Thursday to protest against a new line of underwear developed by U.S. celebrity Kim Kardashian named "Kimono", with some terming it a theft of their culture that insulted the cherished traditional robe. Kardashian on Tuesday announced she was releasing the line of shapewear she had been developing for a year, including both full-body garments as well as two-piece sets in several different colours, as "solutions for women that really work". "Kimono is not underwear! Stop trademark registration! Don't make the word kimono yours!" wrote Twitter user Ruu, echoing a common theme.
