This sounds crazy...but

This sounds crazy... but I am told on good authority that the origin of the Japanese kimono is demographic.

After a war had decimated the Japanese population, the kimono was "invented."

Complete with its own bedroll, the idea was that any man could have any woman --- except I guess a member of the Royal Family --- at any time, at any place.

That is not the remedy for the current Birth Dearth, but something has got to happen if the species is to continue.

Illustrate ??? Hmnnn...
