Relations between Kim Kardashian West and the country of Japan eased on Tuesday after Ms. Kardashian West announced that she would change the name of her shapewear line, which she had said last week would be named Kimono.

That announcement of the trademark caused an uproar (kimono being a traditional Japanese garment) and invited pushback from Japanese officials. The mayor of Kyoto sent Ms. Kardashian West a letter to ask her to reconsider the name. Days later, she did.

On Tuesday, Hiroshige Seko, Japan's trade minister, acknowledged Ms. Kardashian West’s pledge to revisit the name. Still, he said that he planned to send someone to speak to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and that he would keep an eye on the shapewear situation.

A publicist who reached out on behalf of Kyoto did not yet have any update on whether the mayor’s invitation to Ms. Kardashian West to visit his city still stood.
