>hoop skirts

Atelier Pierrot just posted a "wire pannier" from Triple Fortune on their blog. It's actually the first time I've seen a Japanese brand make a hoop skirt.

I suspect it's because Japan is rather narrow -- most train stations have narrow gates and sometimes the escalators themselves are quite narrow, or have the bars to stop people from pushing trolleys and prams onto them. A fluffy petticoat could squish down past it, I think a hoop skirt would have problems.

(there's usually a wider disabled gate and elevators for those in wheelchairs, but it's gotta be even weirder to use that just because you're wearing a wire hoop skirt).
